Boiron Inc.: Calendula Cream Recalled Due to Labeling Error on Ingredient Strength

Agency Publication Date: May 11, 2018

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Boiron Inc. is recalling approximately 52,810 tubes of Calendula Cream (calendula officinalis 1X HUS-10%) because of a labeling error regarding the product's strength. The outer cardboard carton incorrectly lists the active ingredient concentration as 7%, while the tube inside correctly identifies it as 10%. This recall affects 2.5 oz. tubes distributed nationwide. If you have this product, you should contact your healthcare provider or pharmacist for guidance regarding the labeling discrepancy.

Risk

The outer packaging understates the actual strength of the active ingredient (7% vs. the actual 10%), which could lead to confusion about the product's potency. While the internal tube is labeled correctly, the mismatch between the box and the tube represents a significant labeling error.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your 2.5 oz. tube and outer carton of Boiron Calendula Cream for the following lot numbers: M7090711, M7090712, M7090713, M7090709, M7090807 (Exp: 09/2019) or M7110589 (Exp: 11/2019).
  2. Verify if the outer carton incorrectly displays a 7% concentration while the tube inside displays a 10% concentration.
  3. Contact your healthcare provider or pharmacist for guidance regarding the use of this product and to discuss any concerns about the ingredient strength.
  4. Return any unused product to the pharmacy or place of purchase for a refund and contact Boiron Inc. for further instructions.
  5. For additional questions, contact the FDA Consumer Complaint hotline at 1-888-723-3332 (1-888-SAFEFDA) or visit www.fda.gov/safety/recalls.
