John W Hollis Recalls Papaverine, Phentolamine, and Atropine Solution Vials

John W Hollis Inc is recalling specific vials of Papaverine, Phentolamine, and Atropine solution due to an incorrect expiration date on the label.

What this means for you

Cosmetic or documentation issue. No expected health impact, but the manufacturer is correcting the affected products.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class III, which by definition is unlikely to cause adverse health consequences. The issue is a minor labeling error regarding the expiration date.

Plain-English summary

John W Hollis Inc is recalling 10 mL vials of Papaverine 60 mg, Phentolamine 4 mg, and Atropine 0.3 mg Solution. The recall is limited to Lot #1905 with an expiration date of 4/30/14. The product is prescription-only and was distributed in Missouri, Tennessee, Mississippi, and Wisconsin.

The recall was initiated because the expiration date printed on the vial is earlier than the actual expiration date of the product. This is a labeling error that does not indicate a change in the product's safety or efficacy.

Consumers and healthcare providers who have this specific lot of the medication should stop using it and contact their pharmacist or the recalling firm for instructions on how to return the product. No adverse health consequences are expected from this labeling discrepancy.
