“Avella Bevacizumab Prefilled Syringes Recall: Lack of Sterility Assurance.” GovInfoNow, updated October 5, 2026. https://govinfonow.com/recall/38844-avella-bevacizumab-prefilled-syringes-recall-lack-of-sterility-assurance. Based on FDA recall #D-1308-2019 (https://api.fda.gov/drug/enforcement.json?search=recall_number:%22D-1308-2019%22&limit=1).
