New GPC Inc. Recalls Alcosulph Astringent Lotion for Labeling Deficiencies
New GPC Inc. is recalling Alcosulph Astringent Lotion because it lacks required drug listings and OTC labeling, and is labeled as not approved for sale in the U.S.
What this means for you
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II and involves labeling and regulatory compliance issues (lack of listing/approval) rather than a direct physical hazard like contamination or injury, fitting the Moderate severity criteria for minor labeling errors or voluntary precautionary recalls.
Plain-English summary
