Hospira, Inc., a Pfizer company, has announced a
voluntary recall of one lot of, MAGNESIUM SULFATE IN WATER FOR INJECTION
(0.325 mEq Mg**/mL) 40 mg/mL 2g total, 50 mL (NDC: 0409-6729-24, Lot 53-113-JT,
Expiry 1NOV2016) to the user level due to a confirmed customer report of an incorrect
barcode on the primary bag labeling. The product has a barcode identifying the product
contents on both the overwrap and on the primary container. The barcode on the
overwrap is correct; however, there is potential for the primary container barcode to be
mislabeled with the barcode for HEPARIN SODIUM 2000 USP UNITS/1000 mL in
0.9%SODIUM CHLORIDE INJECTION.
