Premier Pharmacy Labs is recalling specific lots of Morphine Sulfate Injection because routine testing of other lots detected microbial contamination risks.

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 recall is classified as FDA Class II, and the hazard involves potential microbial contamination of a sterile injectable drug, which poses a significant risk of serious injury or infection.

Plain-English summary

Premier Pharmacy Labs Inc is recalling 4,555 syringes of Morphine Sulfate 2 mg/mL PF Injection. The affected product is distributed nationwide in the USA and is identified by NDC 69623-129-10. The specific lots involved are MOR030518IJDSA, MOR030518IJDSB, MOR030518IJDSC, MOR030518IJDSD, and MOR030518IJDSE, all with a beyond-use date of 06/03/2018.

The recall was initiated due to a lack of assurance of sterility. Microbial contamination was detected during routine testing of subsequent unreleased product lots. This issue was attributed to an interaction between the product syringe and the tamper-evident container closure, which may result in the potential introduction of microorganisms into the products.

Consumers and healthcare providers should check their inventory for the specific lot numbers and beyond-use date listed above. If the product matches these details, it should be discontinued and returned to the supplier or disposed of according to local regulations.
