US Compounding Inc: LET Gel Syringes Recalled for Missing Lot Numbers and Expiration Dates

Agency Publication Date: February 8, 2019

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

US Compounding Inc is recalling 1,931 syringes of LET Gel 4% (a combination of lidocaine, epinephrine, and tetracaine). This prescription topical anesthetic, used in medical settings, is being recalled because the labels are missing critical lot numbers and expiration dates, showing placeholder text like 'Lot# YYYDDYY@XX' and 'Beyond Use Date: MM/DD/YYY' instead. Without this information, healthcare providers cannot verify the product's shelf life or potency, which may lead to using a medication that is no longer effective or safe.

Risk

The absence of valid expiration and lot data means there is no assurance of the drug's stability or sterility over time. Using an expired or degraded anesthetic may result in inadequate pain management during medical procedures or unexpected side effects.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your inventory for LET Gel 4% (Lidocaine HCl 4% + EPINEPHrine HCl 0.05% + Tetracaine HCl 0.5%) in 3mL Single Use Syringes with Barcode 62295501303.
  2. Look at the product label for the following placeholder text: 'Lot# YYYDDYY@XX' or 'Beyond Use Date: MM/DD/YYYY'. Affected units may also list the specific Lot code YYYDDYY.
  3. Contact your healthcare provider or pharmacist immediately for guidance if you have been treated with this product or have it in your possession.
  4. Return any unused syringes to US Compounding Inc or the place of purchase for a refund.
  5. Contact US Compounding Inc at 800-718-3588 for further instructions regarding the return of affected products.
  6. For additional questions or to report a problem, contact the FDA Consumer Complaint hotline at 1-888-723-3332 (1-888-SAFEFDA).
