Apothecary Shoppe Recalls S-methylcobalamin Injection Due to Sterility Concerns

The Apothecary Shoppe is recalling S-methylcobalamin 25 mg/mL injection vials because documentation for environmental monitoring during production was missing.

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 source text does not report any illnesses, injuries, or hospitalizations, and the hazard is a documentation gap regarding sterility assurance rather than a confirmed contamination event.
