Recent drug recalls have included four injectable products for particulate matter contamination. Customer complaints identified glass or metal particles in some injection vials, mostly traced to defects in the suppliers' products. Another company recalled 11 lots of skin-whitening products out of concern that their labels made unapproved medical claims. There also were two dietary supplement recalls last month for containing drug ingredients.
In the area of medical devices, there was a recall for the power docking stations of certain infusion pumps. The docking stations sometimes failed to power up their attached infusion pumps, an error that could inadvertently stop the infusion.
There have been no new biologic recalls since the last Jones Day Pharmaceutical & Medical Device Regulatory Update.
