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 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 an FDA Class II recall. The source text does not report any illnesses, injuries, or deaths, and the hazard is the presence of Kratom in an unlabeled product, which fits the criteria for a moderate severity rating involving labeling or low-risk contamination issues without reported harm.
