Ameditech DrugSmart Cup Recall for Reduced Benzodiazepine Reactivity

Ameditech is recalling DrugSmart Cup drug tests because they may show reduced reactivity for two specific benzodiazepine compounds.

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 is typically a score of 1 or 2. The hazard involves reduced reactivity (potential false negatives) for specific compounds, which is a functional defect rather than a direct physical injury risk, fitting the Moderate category for low-risk issues.
