Why it was recalled

Cross Contamination with Other Products

Cause type: Cross-contamination

Traces of another drug - most often penicillin - got into the product from shared equipment or facilities. Even trace penicillin can trigger a severe allergic reaction in someone who was never meant to receive it. All cross-contamination recalls.
