Pharmatech LLC is recalling Rugby D3 Vitamin liquid due to the presence of yeast and potential contamination with B. cepacia.
The agency’s classification
FDA (Food): Class II
Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.
This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).
The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: The agency classification is FDA Class II. According to the rubric, FDA Class II recalls with potential for significant injury or specific pathogen contamination (B. cepacia is a known pathogen) align with a Severe rating, particularly given the lack of explicit 'no illness' statements in the source text to cap the score at 3.
