Opioid and pain medication recalls

36 FDA-recorded recalls of opioid and pain medications, most recent Jun 2026 — newest first, straight from the FDA's own database.

The recalls here are concentrated in injectable and implanted products — loss of sterility assurance is the single largest reason in our data, alongside CGMP failures and one buprenorphine crystallisation finding. Strength labelling errors matter more in this class than almost anywhere else, because the difference between patch or tablet strengths is the difference between a dose and an overdose. Never stop an opioid abruptly on your own because of a recall: withdrawal is a medical event in itself, so confirm the lot against the FDA notice and contact the prescriber.

How to use this page

A drug appearing here does not mean your prescription is unsafe. Recalls name specific lots and manufacturers — open the recall to see the affected lot numbers, and match them against your bottle. Never stop a blood-pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, antidepressant or antibiotic medicine on your own because of a recall; confirm your lot, then ask your pharmacist for a replacement if it is affected.

Other categories: Blood pressure medication · Eye drop and ophthalmic · Cholesterol medication · Diabetes medication · Antidepressant · Antibiotic · Thyroid medication · Allergy and antihistamine · Hormonal and contraceptive · ADHD and stimulant medication · Seizure and epilepsy medication · Asthma and inhaler · Heartburn and acid-reflux medication. See also the full recalls tracker and the recall report.

Source: the openFDA drug Enforcement (recall) database. Recalls are matched to this category by the drug names in the FDA’s product description; a small number of category recalls may be missed if the description omits the ingredient. Figures are recall events, not units, and reflect our copy of the FDA data, refreshed daily. This is public regulatory data, not medical advice.
