Syringe recall

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued a notice on October 27 that all Accusure Insulin Syringes were being voluntarily recalled by the manufacturer, Qualitest Pharmaceuticals.

The syringes may have needles that could detach during use causing the needle to remain in the skin after injection or become lodged in the insulin vial.

If you have any of these syringes, available from January 2002 to October 2009, you should stop using them and contact Qualitest at 1-800-444-4011 for reimbursement.
