Vi-Jon, Inc.: Hydrogen Peroxide Antiseptic Recalled for Isopropyl Alcohol Contamination

Agency Publication Date: March 7, 2019

Summary

Vi-Jon, Inc. is recalling 6,756 bottles of Topical Solution USP Hydrogen Peroxide First Aid Antiseptic (32 Fl. Oz.) due to cross-contamination with Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA). This over-the-counter product, sold under the Discount Drug Mart brand, was found to contain IPA which was not intended to be in the finished formula. Consumers who have purchased this specific antiseptic should identify if they have the affected lot and contact a healthcare professional or pharmacist if they have concerns.

Risk

The presence of isopropyl alcohol in a product labeled as hydrogen peroxide constitutes cross-contamination, which can lead to unexpected skin irritation or adverse reactions when used on wounds or as an oral debriding agent. While no injuries have been reported, the contamination means the product does not meet its required quality and safety specifications.

Locate the UPC code 0-93351-12758-8 and NDC 53943-871-45 on the product label to confirm it is part of this recall.
Stop using the affected product immediately to avoid potential irritation from the isopropyl alcohol contamination.
