Apothecus Pharmaceutical Corp.: VCF Vaginal Contraceptive Foam Recalled for Defective Delivery System

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Apothecus Pharmaceutical Corp. is recalling approximately 39,529 cans of VCF Vaginal Contraceptive Foam (nonoxynol-9) because the delivery system is defective. The affected canisters may exhibit propellant leakage or loss, which can make the product and the delivery canister unusable. This recall affects both individual cans and bulk case packs distributed nationwide across the United States and Canada.

Risk

A defective delivery system with leaking propellant prevents the foam from being dispensed correctly, rendering the contraceptive product ineffective and unusable for its intended purpose.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify your product by checking the NDC number and lot information on the canister or packaging. Affected individual cans (0.6 oz) have NDC 52925-312-14, and case packs of 36 cans have NDC 52925-312-06.
  2. Check the lot numbers and expiration dates on your VCF Vaginal Contraceptive Foam. Recalled products include Lot # 31560 and Lot # 31561, both with an expiration date of 06/2021.
  3. If your product matches the affected lot numbers, stop using it immediately as the delivery system may fail to dispense the medication properly.
  4. Contact your healthcare provider or pharmacist for guidance regarding alternative contraceptive options.
  5. Return any unused product to the place of purchase for a refund and contact Apothecus Pharmaceutical Corp. for further instructions.
  6. For additional questions or to report issues, contact the FDA Consumer Complaint hotline at 1-888-723-3332 (1-888-SAFEFDA).
