Spectrum Laboratory Products, Inc. is recalling 8 units of Epinephrine (L-Adrenaline) USP active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) due to reports of discoloration. Discolored epinephrine may be less effective than required, which is a critical safety issue for a medication used in emergency life-saving situations. The recall affects bottles in sizes of 1 g, 5 g, 25 g, 100 g, and 1 kg distributed nationwide in the USA, Puerto Rico, and Canada. No injuries or incidents have been reported to date.
Discoloration indicates the epinephrine has degraded, which can significantly reduce its potency and effectiveness. Using a less effective product during an emergency medical situation, such as a severe allergic reaction, could lead to serious health consequences or treatment failure.
