Both the recalls are classified as Class II, a situation in which 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 consequences is remote.  Blenheim Pharmacal, the packaging company, is the recalling firm while the drugs were distributed by Wockhardt USA LLC, the US subsidiary of the company.
