Why it was recalled

It has been determined that N-acetyl p benzoquinone imine (NAPQI), a metabolite of acetaminophen (paracetamol), may cause negative interference for assays if present in high quantities in serum due to acetaminophen overdoese. This could result in a delay in diagnosis and treatment.

Class II means using this product may cause temporary or medically reversible health problems; the chance of serious harm is remote.
