Walco International Inc: Suppressor Flunixin Meglumine Recalled for Labeling Error

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Walco International Inc is recalling Suppressor brand Flunixin Meglumine Injection 50 mg/mL, an animal drug used in veterinary medicine, which is sold in 100mL and 250mL bottles. The product label incorrectly states the drug can be administered by intramuscular (IM) or intravenous (IV) injection, when it is actually intended for IV use only. Using this medication as an intramuscular injection can lead to dangerous drug residues remaining in the animal's system. This recall affects products distributed to 13 retail locations primarily in Northern California's Central Valley.

Risk

If this medication is injected into the muscle (IM) instead of the vein (IV) as intended, it can cause the animal to retain drug residues that exceed safety limits. This poses a risk to the food supply chain if the animal is used for food production, as these violative residues may be present in meat or milk.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your supply for Suppressor brand Flunixin Meglumine Injection 50 mg/mL in 100mL or 250mL bottles labeled with Recall Number V-125-4.
  2. Immediately stop using the product if you have been administering it via intramuscular (IM) injection; it must only be used intravenously (IV).
  3. Contact your veterinarian or healthcare provider to discuss the health of any animals that received this medication via intramuscular injection.
  4. Return any unused bottles to the place of purchase in California for a refund and to ensure the product is properly handled.
  5. Contact Walco International Inc at their Ceres, California facility for further instructions regarding the return of affected inventory.
  6. For additional questions, contact the FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine at 240-402-7002.
