HTO Nevada, Inc. is recalling 6,280 bottles of New & Improved Blue Gel Anesthetic and Maximum Zone 2 Topical Analgesic, which are topical numbing treatments used by licensed professionals. The recall was initiated because the epinephrine active ingredient in these products was discolored, indicating a potential quality issue with the raw materials. No injuries or adverse events have been reported to date. These products are sold in 1 oz bottles and were distributed nationwide in the U.S. and Canada by Dermal Source.
Discolored epinephrine can be a sign that the medication has degraded or been compromised, which may result in the anesthetic being less effective at reducing pain, swelling, or bleeding during procedures. While no injuries are reported, using degraded products could lead to unexpected skin reactions or treatment failure.
