Sparhawk Laboratories Inc is recalling approximately 8,388 bottles of Butler Butaject (phenylbutazone injection), a 200 mg/mL medication used for horses. One part of the product label incorrectly instructs that the drug should be administered into the uterus (intrauterine), while another section correctly states it is for injection into a vein (intravenous). This conflicting information could lead to the medication being administered via the wrong route, which may cause serious health complications for the animal or lead to ineffective treatment.
If the medication is administered into the uterus instead of the vein as intended, it could cause localized injury, infection, or fail to provide the necessary systemic treatment for the horse's condition. There are currently no reports of animal injuries related to this labeling error.
