A product that must be sterile could not be assured sterile, or was contaminated. A top reason for injectables, eye drops and IV products - loss of sterility assurance can lead to serious infections. All sterility / contamination recalls.
What was recalled
CAFFEINE + SODIUM BENZOATE 500MG/ML, 35 mL vial, Rx only, Park Compounding Pharmacy 280 N. Westlake Blvd., Ste. 100 Westlake Village, CA 91362, (805) 497-8258
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.
Labeling: Label Mix-up. This issue affects the outer box labeling only. The box incorrectly states the ingredients Acetaminophen 500mg and Caffeine 65mg. The inner pouch correctly states the ingredients are Aspirin (NSAID)*500mg and Caffeine 32.5mg.
