How to Be Proactively Protected Against Real Recalls
Register Your Medications: Some manufacturers allow you to register your drug’s lot number for direct alerts.

Class II: May cause temporary or medically reversible health problems; remote probability of serious harm.
Class III: Unlikely to cause adverse health consequences.
