What happened

Teva Pharmaceuticals USA is recalling Metoclopramide Injection USP 10 mg/2 mL (5 mg/mL) in 2 mL single-use vials due to a lack of sterility assurance. The recall affects 29,357 vials across six lot numbers with expiration dates ranging from February 2021 through December 2021. The manufacturing areas for these products exceeded acceptable levels for microbial recovery, which means the sterile injectable products cannot be guaranteed to be free from contamination. The product was distributed nationwide in the USA and Puerto Rico.

The affected lot numbers are 31325042B (exp. 06/2021), 31325336B (exp. 07/2021), 31326042B (exp. 10/2021), 31326137B (exp. 11/2021), 31326230B (exp. 12/2021), and 31323816B (exp. 02/2021). The source document does not specify what remedy consumers should pursue.
