Hospira Recalls Anesthetic Due to Steel Particles

Hospira’s quality struggles continue as the injectable giant voluntarily recalled seven lots of generic anesthetic propofol due a defect that led to metal particles in certain vials. A sample inspection conducted by the drugmaker revealed visible metal particles in the interior neck of the some vials. “Free-floating metal particulates were also identified in vials upon further analysis,” Hospira said Thursday.
