FDA recall number
D-0365-2015
What should you do? A recall doesn't always mean your specific bottle is affected - it often applies to certain lots only. Check the lot number on your package against the FDA notice, and talk to your pharmacist before stopping any medication.
Reason Penicillin Cross Contamination: All lots of all products repackaged and distributed between 01/05/12 and 02/12/15 are being recalled because they were repackaged in a facility with penicillin products without adequate separation which could introduce the potential for cross contamination with penicillin.
Reason Lack of Assurance of Sterility: A small cut in the solution bag may have been introduced during the manufacturing process, resulting in a leak of the bag into the overpouch.
