The safety shield on the syringe may fail to lock into place after activation. If it doesn't lock, a contaminated needle could be accidentally exposed, leading to potential needlestick injuries and bloodborne pathogen exposure.

Check for product code 8881833558 and lot numbers 028610 or 028611 on the syringe packaging. These syringes have a 25-gauge, 5/8-inch needle with a safety shield.
