Safety Alert: Insulin
Recall of Single Lot of ReliOn Syringes
What does this mean?
Since using these mislabeled syringes may lead to an overdose of insulin and serious health problems, this recall should be taken seriously. The ReliOn syringes are sold only at Wal-Mart stores and Sam's Clubs. Look at your syringes to see if they are ReliOn syringes and find the "lot" number printed on the box or packaging. If your syringes are ReliOn syringes and have a lot number that matches lot number 813900, return all of these syringes to your local Wal-Mart store or Sam's Club pharmacy to examine and possibly exchange. If you are not sure who has made your syringes, or cannot find a "lot" number, please take your syringes and packaging to your pharmacist for them to check as soon as possible.
