The primary hazard is regulatory non-compliance rather than immediate physical injury. The missing CII symbol means the label fails to properly identify the drug as a controlled substance, which can lead to confusion regarding storage, handling, and legal requirements for prescription medications.

Who’s affected

Patients who have been prescribed Oxycodone Hydrochloride Tablets, USP 15 mg from the affected lots and purchased them anywhere in the United States. These individuals may possess medication that does not clearly indicate its status as a controlled substance on the packaging.

How to tell if you have this one

Check your bottle of Oxycodone Hydrochloride Tablets, USP 15 mg for the following details.
