Avanos Medical, Inc. is recalling approximately 79,242 cases (over 35 million units) of NEOMED Pharmacy Syringes, which are non-sterile oral syringes used for measuring and administering medications. These syringes were shipped without expiration dates printed on the outer shipping labels, which resulted in expired products being delivered to customers. The recall affects three distinct product lines: Amber, Blue, and Orange non-sterile syringes in various sizes ranging from 0.5mL to 60mL.
Using expired syringes may compromise the accuracy of medication dosing or the physical integrity of the device, as materials can degrade over time. While the risk is considered low, using an expired medical device could lead to improper treatment or minor health complications.
