Moxifloxacin 1 mg/mL Solution Label Mix-up Recall

Denver Solutions, LLC (doing business as Leiters Health) is recalling Moxifloxacin 1 mg/mL intracameral injection solution because vials labeled as 1 mg/mL may actually contain 5 mg/mL, creating a serious dosing error risk.

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: The FDA classified this as Class II. The hazard involves a five-fold concentration discrepancy in a prescription drug intended for direct intraocular injection, presenting significant risk of serious patient harm through overdosage. Although no specific illnesses or hospitalizations are mentioned in the source text, the inherent risk of a major dosing error in a potent antibiotic meets the Severe criterion for a Class II recall with serious potential for injury.
