What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: FDA Class II classification with no reported hospitalizations or illnesses in the source. However, failed dissolution specifications on an opioid medication represent a risk-of-harm product where unpredictable drug delivery could result in overdose or therapeutic failure.
