Pharmatech LLC is recalling Rugby Poly-Vitamin w/ Iron Liquid 50 mL 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, and the rubric specifies that FDA Class II recalls with significant injury/property-damage reports or specific high-risk contexts map to Severe (4). While no specific injuries are reported in the text, the presence of B. cepacia (a known opportunistic pathogen) and the Class II designation align with the Severe criteria for significant potential harm.
