Epipen- PBIRx- Product Recall

On Friday, March 31, the FDA alerted consumers to the voluntary recall of 13 lots of Mylan's EpiPen and EpiPen Jr Auto-Injector products that are used for emergency treatment of severe allergic reactions.  The recalled products were distributed from December 2015 through July 2016.  These devices may contain a defective part that could result in its failure to activate. This recall impacts the 0.3mg and 0.15mg strengths.
