FDA Recalls Unapproved Vitamin B12 Injection Vials Nationwide and Abroad

Medical Supply Liquidators LLC is recalling Vitamin B12 Cyanocobalamin injections because the manufacturer is not FDA-registered and the product lacks an approved NDA or 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, but the source text does not report any illnesses, injuries, or hospitalizations. The hazard is regulatory (unapproved/unregistered) rather than a direct physical defect or contamination with reported harm, fitting the 'Moderate' criteria for low-risk or precautionary regulatory recalls.

Plain-English summary

The recall was initiated because the product was marketed without an approved New Drug Application (NDA) or Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA). Additionally, the manufacturing firm is not registered with the FDA as a drug manufacturer. The recall covers all lot numbers and expiration dates.
