Why these products were recalled

Visual particulate in the glass ampules of 5% Lidocaine HCL and 7.5% Dextrose Injection, USP, 2 mL Ampoule, NDC # 0409-4712-01, Hospira Lot Number 23-227-DK. These ampules are included in certain Portex Spinal Anaesthesia Trays.

The agency’s own wording, quoted from the enforcement report.

The unit total adds up the quantities the agency stated for each product. Where a product record gave no figure, or gave a weight rather than a count, it contributes nothing — so the real total is at least this, never less.
