Class I — the FDA judged there is a reasonable probability that use of the product would cause serious harm or death.
This is the FDA's risk judgment for this recall. It describes the potential of the product as a category — it does not establish that any specific unit harmed anyone.
POTASSIUM CHLORIDE Inj., 20 mEq total in 100 mL flexible container 24 x case, 200 mEq/L, Rx Only, ICU Medical, Inc., Lake Forest, Illinois, 60045, USA, NDC# 0990-7075-26; Bar Code Flexible container (01) 00309907075266; Case (01)30309907075267
Why it was recalled
Labeling: Label Error on Declared Strength. Cases labeled POTASSIUM CHLORIDE 20 mEq, may contain flexible containers with overwrap mislabeled as 10 mEq. The correct dosage strength of 20 mEq is printed on the labeling affixed to the product flexible container.
The recall was initiated by ICU Medical, Inc. (the firm that distributes or relabels it); the product is made by ICU Medical Inc.. That is normal — the distributor, not always the maker, files the recall.
Is your unit affected?
The recall covers only the specific lots or serial numbers the FDA listed. Enter the lot or serial number from your product's label and we'll check it against that list.
A match means your unit may be covered — stop and call your pharmacist before doing anything. No match suggests it isn't covered, but confirm anyway: code formats vary and lists can be incomplete. Your unit not being listed does not guarantee it is safe, and being listed does not mean you have been harmed.

What this is — and is not
A recall is a recorded FDA enforcement action — the FDA logged that a firm is removing or correcting a product. It does not establish that any specific unit harmed anyone, and causation is not established by a recall. The class above is the FDA's risk judgment for the product category, not a finding about your unit. This page informs and compares; it is not medical advice and never tells you to start or stop a drug or device.
