Questions about CVS recalls
Is there a CVS recall right now?
Yes. As of October 7, 2026, the FDA has reported 1 CVS recall in the last 90 days. The most recent is “CVS Health, Carbamide Peroxide, 6” from Bell Pharmaceuticals, Inc (Class II), reported Jul 22, 2026. Check the list on this page for affected brands and lot codes.
What should I do with a product recalled at CVS?
For recalled food, don't eat it. Compare the brand, size, and lot or UPC code with the recall; if it matches, throw it away or return it to the store for a refund, and clean surfaces it touched. If you feel sick, contact your doctor. For recalled medicine, compare the lot number and expiration date with the recall. Don't stop taking a prescription medicine on your own: call your pharmacist or doctor, who can confirm whether your supply is affected and arrange a replacement. CVS typically accepts recalled products for a refund. In an emergency, call 911 or Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222.
How do I know if my product is part of the recall?
Open the recall in the list on this page and compare the brand, product size, lot or UPC code, and best-by or expiration date with your package. A match on the product name alone doesn't mean your item is affected. You can also search by lot number on the FindMyRecall homepage.
Does this list include every CVS recall?
No. It includes FDA food and drug recall reports that mention CVS. Recalls of other products, such as electronics or toys (CPSC) or meat and poultry (USDA), are reported by other agencies, so also check CVS's own recall notices.
