Brand Name: Viatrexx

Product Description: Sterile injectable products

Viatrexx Bio Incorporated, Newark, Delaware is voluntarily recalling 10 mL sterile injectable vials of products, listed in the table below with lot numbers, to the consumer level. The products were sold exclusively to practitioners for office use. The products were manufactured in a manner that cannot guarantee its sterility.

The products are used as sterile injectables and packaged in a 10 mL vial. The affected lots are included in the table.

These products have a very limited distribution to less than 32 US practitioners. They are only for the 10mL sterile injectable products.

Viatrexx is notifying its customers by email and phone and is arranging for the return and replacement of all recalled products. Practitioners that have any of the 10 mL sterile injectable product which is being recalled should stop using/return to Viatrexx or discard.

Consumers with questions regarding this recall can contact Viatrexx by calling 450-536-1295 or info@viatrexx.com, from Monday to Friday, between 9 am to 3 pm EST (closed between 1 and 2 pm EST). Consumers should contact their physician if they have experienced any problems that may be related to taking or using this drug product.
