Agency Publication Date: May 29, 2019

Summary

Avella of Deer Valley, Inc. Store 38 is recalling 730 syringes of Bevacizumab 2.5 mg/0.1 mL prefilled syringes because they may not be sterile. Bevacizumab is a prescription medication often used for various medical conditions, and a lack of sterility in an injectable drug can lead to serious infections or other health complications. This recall affects one specific lot of the medication distributed nationwide across the United States. Consumers should contact their healthcare provider or pharmacist immediately to discuss next steps and receive guidance.

Risk
