Advanced Pharma Recalls Nalbuphine Due to Latex Labeling Deficiency

Advanced Pharma Inc. is recalling all lots of Nalbuphine because the product labeling fails to disclose that it may contain synthetic or natural latex.

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: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the source text explicitly states the issue is a labeling deficiency regarding latex content without reporting any illnesses or injuries, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity voluntary precautionary recall or minor labeling error.
