Methylcobalamin injection recalled due to sterility assurance concerns

Red Mountain Compounding Pharmacy is recalling a methylcobalamin injectable solution after FDA inspection raised concerns about the lack of assurance of sterility.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II recall. The source text indicates a sterility assurance concern raised during inspection but does not report any actual illnesses, injuries, or adverse events. The hazard is investigational/precautionary rather than confirmed.
