Lack of Assurance of Sterility; The firm is recalling all sterile preparations that are within expiry due to deficient practices which may have an impact on sterility assurance.

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.
