Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Avantor Performance Materials has recalled 36 units of Potassium Phosphate (Monobasic, Crystal, NF), a bulk pharmaceutical chemical used in medical and laboratory settings. This recall was initiated because the product exceeded specifications for iron content during stability testing. While no injuries have been reported, the chemical failure may affect the quality or safety of products manufactured using these specific batches. The affected products were distributed in various sizes, including 500-gram and 2.5-kilogram glass bottles, as well as 12-kilogram pails.

Risk

The product contains levels of iron that exceed the safety and quality standards set by both the firm and pharmaceutical compendia, which can lead to unintended chemical reactions or contamination in final drug formulations.

  3. Verify the NDC numbers on the packaging: 10106-3248-1, 10106-3248-2, or 10106-3248-3.
  4. Immediately stop using the affected batch of the product and quarantine any remaining stock to prevent further use in pharmaceutical manufacturing.
