Iodine Solution Recalled for Improper Bottle Cap Seal
EMD Millipore's Lugol's Iodine Solution (Lot 3124) is recalled due to an improper seal between the cap and bottle, which allows iodine vapors to dissipate and reduces the product's potency over time.
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: FDA Class II recall with no reported illnesses or injuries. The hazard is product potency degradation due to improper seal and iodine vapor dissipation, representing a quality issue rather than an acute safety risk.
