A drug is recalled by the FDA, but the problem is unlikely to cause any adverse health reactions. What type of recall would this be?

  1. Class I

  2. Class II

  3. Class III

  4. Class IV

The correct answer is: Class III

This situation would be classified as a Class III recall by the FDA. A Class III recall is initiated when a product or drug is not likely to cause adverse health reactions, meaning that the use of, or exposure to, the product is not likely to cause any serious adverse health consequences. This makes it different from Class I, II, or IV recalls which are more serious in nature and have the potential to cause harmful health effects.
