Defective container:may contain bottles with incomplete seals
Henry Schein
Class II — Moderate risk. May cause temporary or reversible harm; serious harm unlikely.
Why it was recalled
CGMP deviations: the bulk product was rejected by the Quality Unit after routine inspection of the mixing vessel showed scratches on the sides and bottom of the mixing vessel. Product was to be rejected but was inadvertently released and shipped to customers.
Cause type: cGMP deviation
Departures from current Good Manufacturing Practice found in production or during FDA inspection. A broad quality-system cause: the batch was made under conditions that fall short of FDA manufacturing standards. All cgmp deviation recalls.

Check, then ask. Class II means harm is possible but usually temporary or reversible. Find the lot number on your package; if it matches, ask your pharmacist about a replacement. Do not simply stop a prescribed medication on your own - the gap can be riskier than the recall. This recall is now terminated, which means the firm has finished removing the affected product; anything on pharmacy shelves today should be unaffected.
