Mislabeled ReliOn Insulin Syringes Recalled


Tyco Healthcare Group LP has issued a recall on one lot of ReliOn sterile, single-use, disposable hypodermic syringes with permanently affixed hypodermic needles due to possible mislabeling.

The syringes may contain an overdose of as much as 2.5 times the intended dosage of insulin. This can result in hypoglycemia and even death.

The recalled lot number and product information is as follows: Lot Number 813900, ReliOn 1cc, 31-gauge, 100 units for use with U-100 insulin. The syringes are distributed by Can-Am Care Crop and sold at Wal-Mart and Sam's Clubs.

Customers are asked to return the mislabeled syringes to the pharmacies to receive a replacement product.

So far only one injury has been reported due to the mislabeling.
