Binding Site IgG4 Reagent Kits Recalled for Inaccurate Results
The Binding Site Group is recalling Human IgG4 Subclass Liquid Reagent Kits because they may yield spuriously low results for samples with extremely high IgG4 levels.
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 hazard involves inaccurate diagnostic results rather than direct physical injury or contamination, fitting the criteria for moderate severity.
