Advanced Pharma Recalls TPN Neonatal Due to Latex Labeling

Advanced Pharma Inc. is recalling TPN Neonatal products because they may contain latex but lack proper labeling.

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, which typically involves a situation where use of, or exposure to, a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences. The hazard is a labeling error regarding latex content, which is a known allergen but the recall is precautionary regarding the labeling rather than a confirmed contamination event with reported injuries.

Plain-English summary

Advanced Pharma Inc. is recalling TPN Neonatal products in all strengths, dosage forms, and packaging. The recall is due to a labeling issue where the products may contain synthetic latex and/or natural latex, but this information is not properly classified or labeled.

The affected products are prescription-only and were distributed nationwide in the United States. All lots are included in this recall. This labeling deficiency poses a risk to patients with latex allergies who may be exposed to the product without being aware of the potential latex content.

Consumers and healthcare providers should stop using the affected TPN Neonatal products and contact their healthcare provider or the recalling firm for further instructions. Patients with known latex allergies should be particularly cautious and consult their medical team regarding alternative treatments.
