Class I — High risk. Reasonable probability of serious harm or death.
Why it was recalled
Labeling Not Elsewhere Classified: Fresenius Kabi is taking this action due to an incorrect statement on the product insert for product codes 918610 and 918620 indicating that the stoppers do not contain natural rubber latex. The tray label for these two product codes and the vial label for product code 918620 also incorrectly state that the stoppers do not contain latex. The above listed product codes and batches being recalled have stoppers containing natural rubber latex.
Cause type: Labeling / mix-up
Wrong label, wrong strength, mixed-up products, or packaging errors. One of the most dangerous causes - you can end up taking the wrong drug or the wrong dose. All labeling / mix-up 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.
