Embecta Corp. is recalling approximately 185,900 BD Nano 2nd Gen Pen Needles because they were shipped close to or after their labeled expiration date of February 29, 2024. These sterile, single-use needles are used with drug pen injectors to deliver medications. The affected needles were distributed nationwide in the United States and were often included in 'Patient Counseling Sample Toolboxes.' Consumers should check their supplies for the specific lot number 9044773 or toolbox lot 3750144 to ensure they are not using expired medical devices.
Using these medical devices past their expiration date means that the sterility and physical integrity of the needle cannot be guaranteed. This could potentially lead to infections or improper drug delivery if the needle is compromised or no longer sterile.
