FDA Posts 10 Drug Recalls — Sterility, Dissolution Failures Dominate; CPSC Feed Down

// Summary

No CPSC consumer-product recall data could be retrieved this run due to a provider outage; the FDA queue carries ten drug recalls, nine classified Class II and one pending classification, none of which cite injury or death. Recurring failure modes include sterility assurance lapses, dissolution/potency failures, and physical defects (empty packets, crystallization, discoloration). Two items from the same Canadian manufacturer (SV Labs Toronto) account for both benzoyl peroxide recalls.
