ARG Laboratories, Inc. recalled ALOE GATOR, (Octocrylene 8%, Octyl Methoxycinnamate 6%, Benzophone 3 6%, Octyl S… in Apr 2024 — an FDA Class II recall (D-0530-2024) because Out of Specification for active ingredient.

Why it was recalled
Out of Specification for active ingredient
Wrong strength, or it did not keep
The product did not contain what the label promised, or stopped meeting specification before its expiry date. Under-strength medicine can mean an untreated condition.
This is a manufacturing or quality failure, not a finding that the medicine is unsafe to take — across every recall we hold, none was issued for that reason. It does not mean the batch was harmless.
