Sodium Chloride Injection Recalled for Manufacturing Control Deviations

Nephron Pharmaceuticals is recalling 378 bags of 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection nationwide due to manufacturing deviations that could create product carryover.

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: FDA classified this as Class II. The product is an intravenous injection where any potential contamination due to manufacturing deviations represents a risk-of-harm situation. Although no illnesses have been reported and the contamination is potential rather than confirmed, the IV route of administration elevates the concern beyond precautionary measures.
