Accusure Insulin Syringes Recalled
Qualitest Pharmaceuticals and the FDA are issuing a voluntary recall on two lots of 31 G, short needle (1/2 cc or 1 cc) Accusure Insulin Syringes:
These lots of syringes may contain needles that detach from the syringe. If this occurs during use, the needle may get stuck in the insulin vial, push back into the syringe or remain in the skin after use. These recalled products were distributed from January 2007 through June 2008 to wholesalers and retail pharmacies nationwide (including Puerto Rico). Consumers who have these syringes should stop using them and contact Qualitest at 1-800-444-4011 for product replacement instructions.
