Reason for recall
Lack of Assurance of Sterility and Stability Data does not Support Expiry: recent inspection observations associated with certain quality control procedures that present a risk to sterility and quality assurance.
A sterility recall means a product that must be sterile, such as an injection or eye drop, may be contaminated. Using a non-sterile product can cause serious infection.
