BD ChloraPrep Clear
Class I — High risk. Reasonable probability of serious harm or death.
Why it was recalled
Non-sterility: Product is being recalled to climatic Zone IV regions of the world where at the labeled storage conditions of 30*C/75% Relative Humidity for more than 6 months, there is the potential for growth of Aspergillus penicillioides, a type of fungus, resulting in a breach of the package integrity.
Cause type: Sterility / contamination
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.

Treat this as urgent. Class I means FDA judged there is a reasonable probability of serious harm. Find the lot number on your package; if it matches the recalled lots, do not take another dose before you have spoken to your pharmacist or prescriber - today, not next week. This recall is now terminated, which means the firm has finished removing the affected product; anything on pharmacy shelves today should be unaffected.
