Plain-English summary

Premier Pharmacy Labs Inc is recalling 4,192 syringes of Morphine Sulfate 4 mg/mL PF Injection, 1 mL in a 3ml Sterile Single-Dose Syringe. The affected product is identified by NDC 69623-127-10 and includes lots MOR022318NWDSA, MOR022318NWDSB, MOR022318NWDSC, MOR022318NWDSD, and MOR022318NWDSE, all with a best-use-by date of 05/24/2018.

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.

The affected syringes were distributed nationwide in the USA. Consumers and healthcare providers should stop using the recalled product and contact their healthcare provider or the recalling firm for further instructions.
