Novo Nordisk recalls Wegovy injections with hair in syringes. Stop using affected pens to avoid potential injury.
Presence of Particulate Matter: Hair was found in a prefilled syringe
Novo Nordisk is recalling Wegovy (semaglutide) injections that contain hair in the prefilled syringes. This could cause injury if the hair is injected into the body.
Hair was found inside the prefilled syringe, which could be injected into the body during use. This poses a risk of injury or infection if the hair enters the bloodstream.
People who have Wegovy injections with the specific lot numbers (RZFHD52, RZFHW93) produced in Denmark by Novo Nordisk A/S are affected. Those using the product for weight loss are most at risk.
Check the lot numbers on the packaging: RZFHD52 or RZFHW93. The product was manufactured in Denmark by Novo Nordisk A/S and sold in the U.S. by Novo Nordisk Inc.
Inspect the prefilled syringe for any visible hair before use.
