FDA Recalls Unapproved Vitamin B12 Injection Vials Nationwide

Medical Supply Liquidators LLC is recalling Vitamin B12 Cyanocobalamin Injection vials because the manufacturer is not FDA-registered and the product lacks an approved NDA/ANDA.

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, which typically involves a temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequence. The hazard is regulatory (unapproved/unregistered) rather than a specific physical defect or contamination, fitting the Moderate category for minor labeling or regulatory errors.
