Hospira Recalls Opioid Cartridges

Hospira has recalled one lot of pre-filled cartridges containing hydromorphone because the glass cartridges could contain too much medicine, the company said.

The recall follows two reported complaints of a single "Carpuject" cartridge containing more than the amount of drug indicated on the product's label.

There have been no reports of adverse events related to the issue for this particular product lot, said the Lake Forest, Ill.-based manufacturer of generic drugs and hospital products.
