CVS Health Magnesium Citrate Saline Laxative Oral Solution DYE FREE Cherry Flavor recall
FDA recall D-0500-2024 · initiated May 1, 2024
Pharma Nobis LLC recalled CVS Health Magnesium Citrate Saline Laxative Oral Solution DYE FREE Cherry Flavo… in May 2024 — an FDA Class II recall (D-0500-2024) because Microbial Contamination of Non-Sterile Products - Presence of Acetobacter nitrogenifigens bacteria.
May cause temporary or medically reversible harm; low probability of serious harm.
Why it was recalled
Microbial Contamination of Non-Sterile Products - Presence of Acetobacter nitrogenifigens bacteria
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.
