Meridian Medical Technologies has issued a nationwide, voluntary recall of its Mylan EpiPen and EpiPen Jr. allergy shots.
The company said that some of devices may contain a defective part that prevents the injector from activating in the event of an allergic reaction.
“While the number of reported failures is small, EpiPen products that potentially contain a defective part are being recalled because of the potential for life-threatening risk if a severe allergic reaction goes untreated,” the company said in a statement.
