Class II U.S. Food and Drug Administration

CA BOTANA International, Inc. Karina Daily Moisturizer SPF 25 recall: CGMP Deviations

Recall published 11 months ago

CGMP Deviations

The hazard: Labelling or manufacturing-practice failure

This recall is about what the packaging says rather than what is in it — which still matters, because the label is how a dose gets chosen.

What the notice says: CGMP Deviations

Why it matters: The label, the strength printed on it, the barcode or the manufacturing records do not meet federal requirements. The practical danger is someone taking the wrong drug or the wrong dose while believing they have the right one.

Symptoms and when to call a doctor

If you may have taken a product that turned out to be a different drug or strength from the one on the label, call your prescriber, and call Poison Control on 1-800-222-1222 if you feel unwell. Describe what the pack said and what you actually took.

This page is general information, not medical advice. If you feel unwell, a clinician who can see you is the only person able to judge your case.

What to do about Labelling

CA BOTANA International, Inc. — This recall is about what the packaging says rather than what is in it — which still matters, because the label is how a dose gets chosen.

  1. Compare the lot number and strength on your pack with the codes above and with what your prescription actually says.
  2. Return the affected pack to the pharmacy for a replacement from a good lot.
  3. Report a mismatch to FDA MedWatch, especially if it reached you rather than being caught at the counter.
  4. If what you were dispensed does not match your prescription, call the pharmacy before taking another dose.

Refunds and replacements

With medicines, a replacement supply matters more than cash, and that is what pharmacies are set up to provide.

  • Ask the dispensing pharmacy for a like-for-like replacement from an unaffected lot. This is the fastest route and usually costs nothing.
  • For a mail-order or online pharmacy, use the recall line listed on this page rather than the general support queue.
  • If the recall voided a fill you had already paid for, your insurer will normally authorise a replacement ahead of schedule. Quote the recall number.
  • If you paid out of pocket, ask for a refund of the co-pay or purchase price and keep the receipt the pharmacy issues.
