Progesterone Injectable Recalled Due to Lack of Sterility Assurance

Talon Compounding Pharmacy is recalling Progesterone 100mg/mL Injectable because the manufacturer cannot assure the product meets sterility requirements. The recall affects one vial distributed across the United States.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II recall of a sterile injectable drug. The source text does not report any illnesses or injuries, so the hazard is theoretical; however, lack of sterility assurance in an injectable product creates a direct risk of serious infection. The score is 3 per the rubric criterion for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
