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 the hazard is inadequate labeling leading to potential misuse and incorrect results, with no reported injuries or illnesses. This aligns with the rubric for moderate severity involving labeling errors or low-risk contamination where harm is theoretical.
