Blood pressure medication recalled nationwide under FDA's Class II risk level

A nationwide recall has been issued for a widely used blood pressure medication under the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Class II risk level. Millions of Americans who rely on medication to lower their blood pressure are being urged to inspect their prescription labels.

A Class II recall is designated by the FDA for situations where the use of, or exposure to, a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health outcomes is remote.
