Hospira recalls injectable diabetes medicine due to presence of glass particles

Pharmaceutical giant Hospira issued a voluntary recall of three lots of 8.4% Sodium Bicarbonate Injection mEq/50 mL to the hospital and institution level due to the presence of glass particles, the Federal Drug Administration announced on March 15.

The FDA says the presence of glass particles may result in local irritation or swelling in response to the foreign material. They say more serious potential outcomes would include blockage and clotting in blood vessels, "which may be life-threatening if a critical organ is affected."

Hospira has not received reports of any adverse events in connection to these lots, according to the FDA. See below for a list of the affected lots and their expiration dates:

If you are in possession of the above lots, the FDA says you should stop use and distribution and quarantine immediately.
