Why was EPINEPHRINE Injection, USP, 1 mg/10mL (0.1 mg/mL), Rx only recalled?

According to the FDA, the stated reason for the recall is: “Lack of Assurance of Sterility.” In plain terms, this recall relates to a sterility or contamination concern.

Sterile medicines, such as injectables and eye drops, must be completely free of microorganisms and stray particles. This recall means that sterility could not be assured or that contamination was found or suspected.
