Baxter Recalls Exactamed Oral Dispensers Due to Mixed Sizes

Baxter Healthcare is recalling Exactamed 5 mL Oral Dispensers because pharmacy packs may contain 10 mL dispensers.

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 III, which indicates the product is not likely to cause adverse health consequences. The hazard is a labeling/packaging error (mixed sizes) rather than a direct contamination or structural failure.

Plain-English summary

Baxter Healthcare Corporation is recalling Exactamed 5 mL Oral Dispensers, Amber, in pharmacy packs. The recall involves specific reference numbers and lot numbers for 500-count, 100-count, and 1500-count packs.

The recall was initiated because the 5 mL pharmacy packs may contain both 5 mL and 10 mL oral dispensers. This discrepancy in dispenser size within a single package could lead to medication dosing errors.

The affected products were distributed nationwide. Consumers and healthcare providers should check their inventory for the specific reference numbers and lot numbers listed in the recall notice and stop using the affected dispensers.
