AvKARE LLC is recalling 70,368 units of Sodium Fluoride 1.1% Prescription Dental Toothpaste and Capsaicin Cream 0.025% due to a product mix-up. Some cartons labeled as Capsaicin Cream may actually contain tubes of the prescription dental toothpaste. The toothpaste is a 1.8-ounce tube of spearmint flavored fluoride (5000 ppm), while the intended cream is a 2.1-ounce topical pain reliever.
A product mix-up could lead to consumers using the wrong medication for their intended treatment. If prescription toothpaste is applied topically to the skin as if it were pain cream, or if the mix-up causes confusion about proper usage, it could lead to ineffective treatment or localized irritation. No injuries have been reported to date.
