Iowa Select Herbs Bayberry Root Recalled for Misbranding and Adulteration
Iowa Select Herbs LLC is recalling Bayberry Root products because they are misbranded, unapproved new drugs, and adulterated dietary supplements.
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 agency classified this as a Class III recall, which is defined as unlikely to cause adverse health consequences. The recall is driven by regulatory violations (misbranding/adulteration) rather than reported acute injuries or high-risk pathogens.
