Eugia US LLC issued a voluntary nationwide recall for one lot of Vancomycin Hydrochloride for Injection.[^1] The stated reason is glass particle contamination.[^2] A glass particle was found in one vial of the lot.[^3]

## The risk

Vancomycin for injection goes into a vein, so a particle in the vial can go with it. Use of the contaminated product may cause blood clots or organ damage.[^4] The recall notice says the harm could be serious, up to and including death.[^5]

No adverse events linked to the lot have been reported.[^6]

## Two months on the shelf

The lot was shipped nationwide between 2 and 15 September.[^7] The Food and Drug Administration posted the recall announcement on 10 November.[^8] That leaves eight weeks or more in which the vials were in distribution before the public notice.

## How to identify it

The lot number is 3VM26026A, with an expiry date of July 2028.[^9] The recall is being conducted with the knowledge of the FDA.[^10]
