Recall notice

United States

Hospira, Inc., a Pfizer company (“Pfizer”), is voluntarily recalling the lots listed in the table below of Buprenorphine Hydrochloride Injection CarpujectTM Units and Labetalol Hydrochloride Injection, USP CarpujectTM Units to the User level. The recall was initiated due to the potential for incomplete crimp seals; one customer complaint has been received for one leaking unit. The products were distributed nationwide to wholesalers/hospitals in the United States from September 2023 through April 2024.

The recalled products, NDC, Lot Number, Expiration Date, and Configuration details for the impacted products are Attached.

Wholesalers and hospitals with an existing inventory of any of the lots which are being recalled should discontinue use, stop distribution, and quarantine the product immediately.
