Klaire Labs Reduced L-Glutathione Recalled for Containing Lithium Orotate

ProThera, Inc. is recalling Klaire Labs Reduced L-Glutathione capsules because they are mis-packaged and contain Lithium Orotate instead of the labeled ingredient.

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 3/5 (High).

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, and the hazard involves a significant mislabeling of a pharmaceutical ingredient (Lithium Orotate vs. L-Glutathione), which poses a risk of harm to consumers, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products.
