Sarken STAT! 1-Panel Test Kit Recalled for Inadequate Labeling
Sarken, Inc. is recalling STAT! 1-Panel Test Kits because they were distributed without adequate labeling and instructions, which could lead to misuse and incorrect 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 describes a labeling defect that could lead to misuse and incorrect results without reporting specific injuries, hospitalizations, or deaths. This aligns with the 'Moderate' criteria for labeling errors and low-risk contamination where no direct physical harm is reported.
