Ameditech is recalling ProScreen 7 Panel Dip Cards because they may show reduced reactivity for Clonazepam and Chlordiazepoxide.

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 defined as unlikely to cause adverse health consequences. The hazard is a reduced reactivity for specific compounds, which is a performance issue rather than a direct physical injury risk.
