cGMP deviations.
PHENYLephrine 1 mg/10 mL
Class I — High risk. Reasonable probability of serious harm or death.
Why it was recalled
Labeling: Label Error on Declared Strength. Product has correct label on the syringe and the case but some units are incorrectly labeled as .4 mg/10 mL (40 mcg/ml) on the light protective overwrap of each syringe.
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.
