Class III — Low risk. Unlikely to cause harm, but violates FDA regulations.
Why it was recalled
Labeling: Incorrect instructions; an error in section 5.11 of the patient insert that results in incorrect medical advice. Specifically, the labeling should read "If a severely depressed HDL-C level is detected, fibrate therapy should be withdrawn, and the HDL-C level monitored until it has returned to baseline, and fibrate therapy should not be re-initiated."

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.

- D-400-2014 · FDA notice
Low risk, still worth a check. Class III means the product is unlikely to cause harm but breaks an FDA rule (often labeling). If your lot matches, your pharmacy will normally swap it; there is no need for alarm. This recall is now terminated, which means the firm has finished removing the affected product; anything on pharmacy shelves today should be unaffected.
