Why it was recalled
Does Not Meet Monograph: NEW GPC INC. has recalled multiple Over-the-Counter Drug Products due to lack of drug listing, lack of OTC drug labeling requirements and labeled Not Approved for sale in U.S.A..
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.
What was recalled
alcosulph Astringent Lotion, Net Contents: 1) 60 mL and 2) 120 mL. Product packaged within a glass container individually placed in small carton. Country of Origin Guyana.

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.
