Valeritas recalls 30-unit demo cartons with possible needle inclusion. Consumers should check lot numbers DM318007-DM318026 for affected units.
There is a potential for "No Needle Demo Units" to contain a needle.
Valeritas is recalling demo cartons that may contain needles. This poses a risk of injury if someone accidentally uses the carton without realizing it contains a needle.
The cartons are designed as demo units without needles, but there's a potential for needles to be included by mistake. If someone uses the carton without noticing the needle, it could cause injury.
People who purchased or use the demo cartons with lot numbers DM318007 through DM318026 are affected. Those handling the cartons without checking for needles are at higher risk.
Check the carton for lot numbers DM318007, DM318008, DM318009, DM318010, or DM318026. The carton has a unique identifier starting with (01)10385609020022(17)XXXXXX(10)XXXXXXXX.
Inspect the carton for any needles before use. If needles are present, do not use the carton.
