Sterling Diagnostics Serum Iron/IBC Diagnostic Kits Recalled for Expiration Date Issues

Sterling Diagnostics is recalling Serum Iron/IBC diagnostic kits because previously extended expiration dates were rescinded.

What this means for you

Cosmetic or documentation issue. No expected health impact, but the manufacturer is correcting the affected products.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class III, which by definition is unlikely to cause adverse health consequences. The issue is administrative (rescinded expiration dates) rather than a physical defect or contamination.
