Approximately 1,433 cases of Milk of Magnesia USP (magnesium hydroxide) 2400 mg/30 mL unit dose cups are being recalled because they failed microbial testing for aerobic bacteria. The product, manufactured by Plastikon Healthcare LLC and distributed under the Major Pharmaceuticals brand, was found to have a total aerobic microbial count that exceeds safety standards. These products were distributed to hospitals and clinics in 100-count cartons containing 10 trays of 10 unit dose cups.
The product failed bioburden testing, meaning it contains higher than acceptable levels of bacteria. This poses a risk of infection, particularly for vulnerable patients or those with weakened immune systems who may be using the medication in an institutional setting.
