Premier Pharmacy Labs is recalling 824 vials of Chlorpromazine HCL Injection because an FDA inspection found insufficient environmental controls that may compromise sterility.

The agency’s classification

FDA (Drugs): Class II

Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II and involves a lack of sterility assurance in an injectable medication, which poses a significant risk of infection or serious injury.
