FentaNYL Citrate IV Bags Recalled Due to Double-Dose Filling System Malfunction

FentaNYL citrate intravenous bags are recalled nationwide because a semi-automated filling system can malfunction and deliver double the intended dose. Patients and healthcare providers should immediately quarantine affected lots.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class I drug recall, which requires a minimum severity score of 4 per the rubric. Although no illnesses or injuries are explicitly reported in the source text, the potential hazard—FentaNYL at double the intended dose—poses serious risk of overdose and life-threatening complications.
