Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

VistaPharm, Inc. is recalling 3,084 bottles of Hydrocodone Bitartrate and Acetaminophen Oral Solution 7.5 mg/325 mg per 15 mL (Cherry Flavored) because the product was incorrectly labeled. The packaging lists the medication as a Class III controlled substance when it is actually a Class II controlled substance, which is subject to stricter regulatory requirements. These 473 mL bottles were distributed nationwide to pharmacies and healthcare facilities.

Risk

The incorrect classification labeling could lead to the medication being handled, stored, or dispensed without the proper Class II security protocols. While the medication itself is safe for use as prescribed, the mislabeling represents a significant regulatory and tracking error for a high-potency controlled substance.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your medicine for Hydrocodone Bitartrate and Acetaminophen Oral Solution 7.5 mg/325 mg per 15 mL (Cherry Flavored) in 473 mL bottles.
  2. Verify the identifying codes on the bottle: Look for NDC 66689-023-16 and Lot number 494700 with an expiration date of 10/2018.
  3. Contact your healthcare provider or pharmacist for guidance regarding this recall and to discuss continued treatment.
  4. Return any unused bottles from the affected lot (494700) to the pharmacy where you purchased them for a refund.
  5. Contact VistaPharm, Inc. directly for further instructions regarding the return of the product.
