Class II — Moderate risk. May cause temporary or reversible harm; serious harm unlikely.
Marketed without an Approved NDA/ANDA: The product consists of pure, powdered caffeine and is an unapproved drug due to stimulant claims. The product is also misbranded as it fails to bear adequate directions for its intended use.
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.

Drug: Caffeine
Check, then ask. Class II means harm is possible but usually temporary or reversible. Find the lot number on your package; if it matches, ask your pharmacist about a replacement. Do not simply stop a prescribed medication on your own - the gap can be riskier than the recall. This recall is now terminated, which means the firm has finished removing the affected product; anything on pharmacy shelves today should be unaffected.
Labeling: Label Mix-up. This issue affects the outer box labeling only. The box incorrectly states the ingredients Acetaminophen 500mg and Caffeine 65mg. The inner pouch correctly states the ingredients are Aspirin (NSAID)*500mg and Caffeine 32.5mg.
Labeling: Missing Label - some bottles are missing the the manufacturers label that includes the drug facts information.
