Product mix-up: Cartons labeled Capsaicin Cream 0.025% may contain tubes of Sodium Fluoride 1.1% Prescription Dental Toothpaste
AVKARE is recalling Capsaicin Cream 0.025% because cartons labeled as this cream might contain tubes of Sodium Fluoride toothpaste instead. Using the wrong product could cause dental problems if applied to teeth.
The product mix-up means cartons labeled as Capsaicin Cream 0.025% might contain Sodium Fluoride toothpaste. If someone uses the cream on their teeth, it could cause dental problems because toothpaste is not meant for skin application.
People who own or use the Capsaicin Cream 0.025% (2.1 oz) with NDC 50268-195-60 are affected. Those who apply the product to teeth are at higher risk of dental issues.
