McKesson Consult Diagnostic Fecal Occult Blood Test Recalled for Packaging Issues

Cypress Medical Products LLC is recalling McKesson Consult Diagnostic Immunochemical Fecal Occult Blood Tests because the packaging is too similar to other products, leading to a denial of CLIA waiver approval.

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 is defined as unlikely to cause adverse health consequences. The issue is a packaging similarity leading to a regulatory waiver denial, not a direct safety hazard like contamination or malfunction.
