FDA recall D-0530-2026 · initiated Apr 2, 2026
Huons Co., Ltd. recalled Bupivacaine Hydrochloride 0.75% in 8.25% Dextrose Injection in Apr 2026 — an FDA Class II recall (D-0530-2026) because Lack of Assurance of Sterility.
May cause temporary or medically reversible harm; low probability of serious harm.
Why it was recalled
Lack of Assurance of Sterility
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.
