Hikma Pharmaceuticals USA Inc. is recalling 22,644 ampuls of Infumorph (preservative-free morphine sulfate sterile solution), a prescription pain medication. The recall was issued because the filter included in the product carton expires before the actual morphine solution does. Using an expired filter could compromise the quality of the filtration process during administration, although the medication itself remains within its potency and sterility limits.
An expired filter may fail to properly screen the solution before injection, potentially allowing particulate matter to be administered to the patient. While no injuries have been reported, this defect poses a risk to patient safety during the administration of this sterile injectable medication.
The filter included in the carton has an expiration date that has expired prior to the expiration date of the actual product lot.
If you or a family member were harmed by this recalled product, you may have legal rights. Consider consulting a consumer protection attorney to understand your options for compensation.
