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 specific defect is a labeling error regarding expiration dates in the barcode, which falls under the 'Minor labeling errors' criterion for a Moderate severity score.
Plain-English summary
Avella of Deer Valley, Inc. Store 38 is recalling 2,840 4mL single-use syringes of Labetalol 20mg, HCL, USP Injectable Solution. The product was repackaged by Avella Specialty Pharmacy in Phoenix, Arizona, and distributed to 13 states including Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Michigan, Minnesota, North Carolina, New Jersey, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Texas.
The recall was initiated because the product labels contain a Two-Dimensional (2D) barcode that reveals batch-specific information, including the expiration date. The expiration date encoded within these 2D barcodes is incorrect and does not match the correct expiration date printed on the face of the label itself.
Healthcare providers and patients should check their inventory for the specific lot codes and expiration dates listed in the recall notice. If the product is found, it should be quarantined and returned to the distributor or the recalling firm.
