Why it was recalled

Labeling Not Elsewhere Classified: Fresenius Kabi is taking this action due to an incorrect statement on the product insert for product codes 918610 and 918620 indicating that the stoppers do not contain natural rubber latex. The tray label for these two product codes and the vial label for product code 918620 also incorrectly state that the stoppers do not contain latex. The above listed product codes and batches being recalled have stoppers containing natural rubber latex.
