Class II · Moderate risk
IMC Wash-Free Hand Sanitizer
CGMP Deviations: product manufactured at the same facility that produced product that FDA sampled and found to be subpotent for ethanol and contained methanol.
Red-E Tablet
Class I — High risk. Reasonable probability of serious harm or death.
Why it was recalled
Marketed Without An Approved NDA/ANDA: product found to be tainted with sildenafil, an FDA approved drug for the treatment of male erectile dysfunction, making this an unapproved drug fro which the safety and efficacy have not been established and therefore subject to recall.
Cause type: Chemical / undeclared
A chemical that should not be there - benzene, methanol, lead - or an undeclared prescription drug hidden in a supplement. The label gives no warning: you may be taking a toxic solvent, a heavy metal, or a drug such as sildenafil that interacts with your other medicines. All chemical / undeclared recalls.
What was recalled
Red-E Tablet, Proprietary Blend 3000 mg**, packaged in 1-count plastic bag stapled with cardboard labeling.

- D-1595-2020 · FDA notice
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.
