Health Canada Allergy Medicine Recalled

Parents and caregivers are being advised to return the recalled products directly to their pharmacy for a replacement product with the same dosage.

CANADA - Health Canada has recalled two types of Allerject (an auto-inject allergy medicine) after the discovery of a manufacturing defect. The defect affects the needle which may not distribute the epinephrine needed for emergency treatment of serious allergic reactions. Children who rely on this medicine are particularly at risk during an emergency. 

The products (Allerject 0.15 mg / 0.15 mL auto-injector, lots 2857508 and 2857505, DIN 02382059) started being distributed on June 1, 2015.

Parents and caregivers are being advised to return the recalled products directly to their pharmacy for a replacement product with the same dosage.
