Injectable Ethyl Alcohol 95% Recalled Due to Sterility Assurance Concerns

Pharmacy Innovations is recalling Ethyl Alcohol 95% (5ML vial) Injectable nationwide because FDA inspection revealed insanitary conditions at the manufacturing facility that compromise sterility assurance.

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 Class II classification applies, but no illnesses, injuries, or deaths are documented in the source. The hazard—insanitary facility conditions—presents a theoretical risk to product sterility rather than confirmed contamination, placing this in the High category for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.
