Iowa Select Herbs LLC is recalling 24 bottles of Yarrow Flowers because the product is misbranded, an unapproved new drug, and an adulterated dietary supplement.

The agency’s classification

FDA (Food): Class III

Class III is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product is not likely to cause adverse health consequences.

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 2/5 (Moderate).

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 hazard involves regulatory violations (misbranding/adulteration) rather than a specific acute physical hazard like a pathogen or choking risk.
