“Avanos Medical Recalls Expired Pharmacy Syringes Due to Missing Expiry Dates.” GovInfoNow, updated August 18, 2026. https://govinfonow.com/recall/55997-avanos-medical-recalls-expired-pharmacy-syringes-due-to-missing-expiry. Based on FDA recall #Z-2037-2024 (https://api.fda.gov/device/enforcement.json?search=recall_number:%22Z-2037-2024%22&limit=1).
Why it’s dangerous
The syringes were shipped without an expiration date printed on their outer shipping labels. This means customers could receive syringes that have expired before they are used, potentially leading to ineffective medication delivery if the syringes are no longer within their expiration period.
Who’s affected
People who own or use the recalled nonsterile pharmacy syringes, particularly those who have purchased them from pharmacies or medical suppliers. Individuals using these syringes for medication administration are most at risk if the syringes have expired.
