Nuevotanicals Recalls Unlabeled Kratom Leaf Powder Products

Nuevotanicals is recalling unlabeled Kratom leaf powder products because they contain Kratom.

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 a Class II recall, and the source text does not report any illnesses or injuries, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity score.
