Tosoh ST-AIA PACK Prog II Recalled Due to Strensiq Interference

Tosoh Bioscience Inc is recalling ST-AIA PACK Prog II assays because Asfotase Alfa (Strensiq) interferes with the tests, potentially causing inaccurate 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 does not report any hospitalizations, injuries, or illnesses. The hazard is a potential for inaccurate test results due to drug interference, which fits the criteria for a moderate severity recall involving low-risk contamination or labeling/interference issues without reported harm.
