Sundial African Fever Bush Recalled for Misbranding and Unapproved Drug Claims

Sundial Herbal Products is recalling African Fever Bush under a permanent injunction because the product is misbranded and deemed an unapproved drug based on its labeling claims.

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 recall is classified as FDA Class II, which typically indicates a situation where use of, or exposure to, the violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences. The source text does not report any illnesses or injuries, and the primary issue is regulatory misbranding and unapproved drug status rather than a specific physical hazard like contamination.
