Sarken STAT! Multi-Drug Test Panel Recalled for Inadequate Labeling
Sarken, Inc. is recalling STAT! Multi-Drug Test Panels because they were distributed without adequate labeling and instructions for use, which could lead to misuse and incorrect test results.
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 that the hazard is theoretical (potential for misuse and incorrect results) and does not report any illnesses, injuries, or deaths. Per the rubric, a theoretical hazard with no reported harm is capped at a score of 3, but given the nature of a labeling defect without immediate physical danger, it aligns with Moderate severity.
