What this means for you

Our severity reasoning: FDA Class I recall, which the rubric floors at Severe; no death is reported in the source, so it does not escalate to Critical.

Plain-English summary

The action covers 582,030 units.

These procedure kits contain Bupivacaine Hydrochloride in Dextrose Injection, USP. The manufacturer of the bupivacaine, Huons Co, Ltd., has issued a voluntary recall due to potential quality issues identified during a recent FDA manufacturing facility inspection. The FDA classified the action as Class I, its most serious classification.

Distribution was nationwide in the United States. The kits are supplied to healthcare facilities rather than sold to consumers.

Facilities should identify affected kits using the material numbers, UDI-DI codes and batch numbers in the recall notice, quarantine any stock on hand, and follow the instructions issued by the manufacturer.
