Hospira recall of Metoclopramide and ondansetron

HOSPIRA ISSUES A VOLUNTARY NATIONWIDE RECALL OF ONE LOT OF METOCLOPRAMIDE INJECTION, USP, AND TWO LOTS OF ONDANSETRON INJECTION, USP, DUE TO GLASS (GLASS STRANDS) PARTICULATES CAUSED BY GLASS SUPPLIER DEFECT

Hospira, Inc. (NYSE: HSP), announced today it initiated a voluntary nationwide recall of one lot of Metoclopramide Injection, USP, 10 mg/2 mL (5 mg/mL), NDC 0409-3414-01, Lot 28-104-DK and two lots of Ondansetron Injection, USP, 4 mg/2 mL, (2 mg/mL), NDC 0409-4755-03, Lots 29-484-DK and 29-510-DK. This action is due to a confirmed vial defect where glass particulate matter (glass strands) were identified as being affixed to the inside of the vial walls. There is potential for the glass particulates to dislodge into the solution.
