Which statement best describes Class II Recall (Retail/Pharmacy Level)?

• A. Product not likely to cause adverse health consequences
• B. Probability of serious adverse consequences is remote
• C. Product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences
• D. Class II Recall is defined as: a remote probability of serious adverse health consequences

Answer: (D)

Class II recalls are used when the product could cause adverse health effects, but the risk is not as severe as a Class I situation. The defining feature is that there is a remote probability of serious adverse health consequences, and the health effects, if they occur, are often temporary or medically reversible. Among the statements, the one that best captures this level is that there is a remote probability of serious adverse health consequences. The other options either emphasize only temporary effects without noting the remote risk, or suggest no real health risk at all, which would align more with the less severe Class III.
