Quasar MD Plus Light Therapy System Recalled for Uncleared Claims

Quasar Bio-Tech, Inc. is recalling the Quasar MD Plus Light Therapy System because the packaging and user manuals contain claims for collagen and elastin production that were not cleared by the FDA.

The agency’s classification

FDA (Devices): Class II

Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 2/5 (Moderate).

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 and involves a labeling error regarding uncleared claims. The source text does not report any illnesses, injuries, or deaths, and the hazard is limited to regulatory non-compliance rather than a direct physical safety risk like a high-risk pathogen or structural defect.
