Sundial Quassia Wood Recalled for Unapproved Drug Claims
Sundial Herbal Products is recalling Quassia Wood under a court order because the product is misbranded and considered an unapproved drug due to its labeling.
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 involves a temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequence. The hazard is primarily regulatory (misbranding/unapproved drug) rather than a direct physical injury risk like choking or fire, fitting the Moderate category for labeling and regulatory compliance issues.
