NEOMED Pharmacy Syringes recalled due to missing expiration dates
Avanos Medical is recalling NEOMED Pharmacy Syringes because expiration dates were not printed on the outer shipping labels. Approximately 37,476 cases of various syringe sizes were distributed worldwide.
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: This is an FDA Class III recall involving a labeling defect (missing expiration dates on shipping labels). No illnesses or injuries have been reported. The hazard is that expired syringes could be distributed, which is a quality and safety concern but without documented harm.
Plain-English summary
Avanos Medical, Inc. is recalling NEOMED Pharmacy Syringes—Nonsterile (Non ENFit) in multiple sizes: 0.5mL, 1mL, 3mL, 6mL, 12mL, 20mL, 35mL, and 60mL. The recall affects approximately 37,476 cases (16,704,600 individual units). The syringes were shipped without expiration dates printed on the outer shipping labels, allowing expired products to be distributed to customers.
Without expiration dates visible on the shipping labels, it is difficult for distributors and facilities to identify which syringes have expired. This creates a risk that expired syringes may reach and be used by healthcare facilities and patients.
The recalled syringes have been distributed worldwide, including throughout the United States, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and Singapore. Customers who received these syringes should verify expiration information on the product and contact Avanos Medical or their supplier for guidance on return or replacement of any expired units.
