SEPP 2% Iodine Tincture USP

Class II — Moderate risk. May cause temporary or reversible harm; serious harm unlikely.

Why it was recalled

Labeling: Not Elsewhere Classified: This product is misbranded because the product is not sterile and the labeling is misleading in relation to sterility claims.

Cause type: Labeling / mix-up

Wrong label, wrong strength, mixed-up products, or packaging errors. One of the most dangerous causes - you can end up taking the wrong drug or the wrong dose. All labeling / mix-up recalls.

FDA recall number
D-225-2013 · FDA notice

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.
