Pemetrexed for Injection 100mg/Vial recall
FDA recall D-0671-2026 · initiated Jun 24, 2026
Reliance Life Sciences Private Limited recalled Pemetrexed for Injection 100mg/Vial in Jun 2026 — an FDA Class II recall (D-0671-2026) because Lack of Sterility Assurance.
May cause temporary or medically reversible harm; low probability of serious harm.
Why it was recalled
Lack of Sterility Assurance
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.
