LIDOcaine HCl Injection recall
FDA recall D-0498-2025 · initiated Jun 2, 2025
Tailstorm Health INC recalled LIDOcaine HCl Injection in Jun 2025 — an FDA Class II recall (D-0498-2025) because Lack of Assurance of Sterility: A recent FDA inspection revealed concerns with the sterile manufacturing process.
May cause temporary or medically reversible harm; low probability of serious harm.
Why it was recalled
Lack of Assurance of Sterility: A recent FDA inspection revealed concerns with the sterile manufacturing process.
Sterility could not be assured
The maker could not guarantee the product was sterile. That matters most for injections and eye products, where a contaminated dose reaches past the body's defences.
This is a manufacturing or quality failure, not a finding that the medicine is unsafe to take — across every recall we hold, none was issued for that reason. It does not mean the batch was harmless.
