Recall issued for mislabeled potassium chloride
The Food and Drug Administration yesterday published an announcement from Otsuka ICU Medical saying that the company issued a voluntary recall for a mislabeled lot of 20 mEq potassium chloride injection bags. The notice said the products are incorrectly labeled with a 10 mEq overwrap. The company said a potential overdose of potassium chloride is possible if an incorrect dosage is used, potentially leading to hyperkalemia. Otsuka ICU Medical said it has not yet received any reports of adverse events due to the issue.
