Pantoprazole Sodium Injection 40 mg Recalled Due to Manufacturing Procedure Deviation
Methapharm Inc is recalling Pantoprazole Sodium 40 mg injection vials due to a manufacturing procedure deviation. Affected products were inadvertently placed into distribution without proper compliance with approved procedures.
What this means for you
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II recall, but no specific contamination, defect, or reported illnesses/injuries are documented. The hazard is a manufacturing procedure deviation that is theoretical rather than confirmed. Per the rubric, when no illnesses/injuries are reported and the hazard is theoretical, the score is at most 3. The procedural nature and absence of identified product defects support a score of 2 (Moderate).
