Qualigen Inc is recalling 18 FastPack Testosterone Immunoassay kits because a manufacturing defect may cause lower than expected test results.

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 II, and the hazard involves inaccurate diagnostic results (lower than expected) due to a manufacturing defect, which fits the criteria for moderate severity involving potential misdiagnosis without reported serious injury.
