Bimix-3 Injectables Recalled for Lack of Sterility Assurance
Bimix-3 compounded injectable (1,287 vials) recalled nationwide due to lack of sterility assurance. Patients should consult their healthcare provider about whether they received affected product.
What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: FDA Class II recall for lack of sterility assurance in a compounded injectable medication. The absence of reported illnesses or injuries combined with Class II status (rather than Class I) prevents a higher severity score, but the hazard—inadequate sterility in injectable medications—represents a significant risk-of-harm to patients.
