UCB Biosciences recalls cimzia prefilled syringes due to lack of sterility assurance. These injectable medications may cause infections if used.
Lack of Assurance of Sterility

The syringes may not be sterile, which can cause infections when injected. This is a serious risk for patients receiving the medication.
Patients prescribed cimzia injections by healthcare providers. Those using the recalled syringes for medical treatment are at risk of infection.
