Sundial Blood Leaf Herbal Product Recalled as Unapproved Drug

Sundial Herbal Products is recalling Blood Leaf herbal products because they are misbranded and deemed unapproved drugs based on labeling claims.

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 regulatory enforcement (Permanent Injunction) or structural defects warrant a score of 4 (Severe).
