Pyridoxine Injection Vials Recalled by FDA Due to Sterility Failure

Olympia Compounding Pharmacy is recalling 1,306 vials of Pyridoxine 100 mg/mL injectable due to lack of assurance of sterility. The multi-dose vials were distributed nationwide and may pose infection risk if administered.

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: This FDA Class II recall involves an injectable medication with unverified sterility. Although no illnesses have been reported, the lack of sterility assurance on an injectable represents a significant risk of harm through infection, meeting the criteria for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.
