Nephron recalls 5x5mL lidocaine injections due to lack of sterility assurance. This may cause infections if used improperly. Contact Nephron for details.
Lack of Assurance of Sterility

Check for the Nephron brand, 5 mL pre-filled syringes labeled 'Lidocaine HCl Injection, USP, 2%', and the lot number LI2001A. The product was sold with an expiration date of June 8, 2022.
Look for the lot number LI2001A and expiration date of June 8, 2022 on the syringe packaging.
