Wiener Lab Chagas Disease Diagnostic Test Recalled for Expiration Concerns
Wiener Laboratories is recalling CHAGATEST ELISA RECOMBINANTE V. 3.0 diagnostic tests because internal testing suggests they may not reach their indicated expiration dates.
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, but the source text explicitly states the hazard is a potential failure to reach the expiration date without reporting any illnesses, injuries, or adverse health consequences. This aligns with the rubric for moderate severity involving low-risk contamination or voluntary precautionary measures where harm has not been reported.
