Plain-English summary
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has recalled 7,218,000 Haiou Needle Retractable Safety Syringes (Catalog Number NRSS1-23G25) manufactured by Guangdong Haiou Medical Apparatus Co., Ltd. These are 1ML, 23-gauge by 1-inch (0.6mm x 25mm) disposable sterile syringes packaged 200 units per box and intended for medical use.
The recall addresses reports of device failure in which the needle and needle holder detach from the syringe barrel after injection. Additionally, the needle mechanism may fail to retract into the syringe as designed. These failures eliminate the safety protection the product is intended to provide and increase the risk of needlestick injury to healthcare workers and other end users.
The affected products were distributed in California. Two lot numbers are identified: Lot 20JC2 (Expiration Date October 17, 2025) and Lot 21AA0 (Expiration Date January 4, 2026).
Users of these syringes should stop using them immediately and contact their medical supply vendor regarding replacement or return of the affected product.
