What was recalled?
This recall covers Carbamazepine Tablets, USP, 200mg, with approximately 1200 bottles affected. The company behind the recall is Golden State Medical Supply Inc., based in Camarillo, CA. The FDA describes the product as: “Carbamazepine Tablets, USP, 200mg, packaged in a)1000-count bottles (NDC 51407-215-10), b) 100-count bottles (NDC 51407-215-01), Rx Only, Manufactured by: Taro Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd., Marketed by: GSMS, Incorporated, Camarillo, CA 93012 USA”
Why was Carbamazepine Tablets, USP, 200mg recalled?
According to the FDA, the stated reason for the recall is: “CGMP deviations: tablets with black specks.” In plain terms, this recall relates to a manufacturing quality issue (CGMP).
CGMP stands for Current Good Manufacturing Practice — the FDA's quality rules for how medicines must be made, tested, and documented. A CGMP-related recall means the manufacturing process did not meet those standards. It does not automatically mean the medicine is harmful, but the FDA cannot be confident in its quality, so it is removed from the market.
What should you do?
If you think you may have bought Carbamazepine Tablets, USP, 200mg, compare it against the product description and identifying codes (Lot #: a) GS067429, GS068091, Exp 5/31/2028; b) GS067430, GS068090, Exp 5/31/2028) before using it. This recall is currently listed as ongoing.
The general guidance for a matching product is to stop using it and follow the instructions in the official FDA recall notice, which may include a repair, replacement, refund, or safe disposal. When in doubt, contact Golden State Medical Supply Inc. or your local health authority.
