Hospira Issues a Voluntary Nationwide Recall of One Lot of Magnesium Sulfate in Water for Injection Due to Incorrect Barcode Labeling on the Primary Container

01/05/2016 10:01 PM EST

Hospira, Inc., a Pfizer company, has announced a voluntary recall of one lot of, MAGNESIUM SULFATE IN WATER FOR INJECTION (0.325 mEq Mg**/mL) 40 mg/mL 2g total, 50 mL (NDC: 0409-6729-24, Lot 53-113-JT, Expiry 1NOV2016) to the user level due to a confirmed customer report of an incorrect barcode on the primary bag labeling. The product has a barcode identifying the product contents on both the overwrap and on the primary container. The barcode on the overwrap is correct; however, there is potential for the primary container barcode to be mislabeled with the barcode for HEPARIN SODIUM 2000 USP UNITS/1000 mL in 0.9%SODIUM CHLORIDE INJECTION.
