Limbrel500
Class I — High risk. Reasonable probability of serious harm or death.
Why it was recalled
Marketed Without An Approved NDA/ANDA: Based on the labeling claims, these products are unapproved drugs for which the safety and efficacy have not been established and, therefore, subject to recall.
Cause type: Unapproved drug
The product was marketed without an approved NDA/ANDA, or does not meet the OTC monograph it claims to follow. Nothing about the product - dose, purity, safety - has been reviewed by FDA, so the claims on the box are unverified. All unapproved drug recalls.

Treat this as urgent. Class I means FDA judged there is a reasonable probability of serious harm. Find the lot number on your package; if it matches the recalled lots, do not take another dose before you have spoken to your pharmacist or prescriber - today, not next week. This recall is now terminated, which means the firm has finished removing the affected product; anything on pharmacy shelves today should be unaffected.
