Abbott Vysis Diagnostic Kits Recalled for U.S. Regulatory Non-Compliance

Abbott Molecular recalls five Vysis in-vitro diagnostic kits that were intended for export and shipped to U.S. customers without approval or registration per U.S. specifications.

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: This is an FDA Class III recall of diagnostic kits shipped without U.S. approval or registration. No illnesses, injuries, or product defects are reported; per the rubric, Class III recalls are typically scored 1–2, and the regulatory non-compliance hazard supports a Moderate classification.
