MedOp Recalls MaxiFlex Multinutrient Formula Due to Out-of-Specification Raw Material

MedOp Health, Inc. is recalling MaxiFlex Multinutrient Formula dietary supplements because a material review found the Chondroitin Sulfate raw material used was out of specification.

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 III, which the rubric indicates is typically a score of 1 or 2. It is scored as 2 (Moderate) because it involves a raw material specification failure in a dietary supplement, which is a minor quality control issue rather than a cosmetic or documentation-only defect, but no illnesses are reported.
