| The United States: Hospira Lactated Ringer's And 5% Dextrose Injection, 1000 mL, Flexible Containers: Recall - Mold Contamination |
| |
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that Hospira is initiating a voluntary user-level recall of one lot of Lactated Ringer’s and 5% Dextrose Injection, USP, 1000 mL, Flexible Container. This action is due to one confirmed customer report where a leak was identified in the primary container between the cobra cap and fill-tube seal and a spore-like structured particulate, consistent with mold, was noted in the solution. The affected lot is 12-160-JT* with expiration date 1 Dec 2013. Hospira has not received reports of any adverse events associated with this issue for this lot, and has not identified any quality issues with retention samples for this lot. This recall is being conducted as a precautionary measure.
