Fresenius Kabi Famotidine Injection, USP 20 mg per 2 mL

Summary

Nov. 6,2025 – LAKE ZURICH, Ill.— Fresenius Kabi, part of the global healthcare company Fresenius, and a leading provider of essential medicines and medical technologies is voluntarily recalling three lots (numbers 6133156, 6133194, 6133388) of Famotidine Injection, USP, 20 mg per 2 mL (10 mg per mL), 2 mL Fill in a 2 mL vial. This recall is being performed to the user level in the United States. The product is being recalled due to out-of-specification (OOS) endotoxin results of certain reserve samples from a single lot. Based upon the investigation, two additional lots were also included in the recall as a precautionary measure. Elevated endotoxin levels can precipitate severe systemic reactions such as sepsis and septic shock. Severe responses may include inflammatory and life-threatening immune responses and death. Non-serious adverse event reports potentially associated with the OOS have been received for one lot. These non-serious adverse events included chills, change in mental status, change in respiratory status, fever, increase in body temperature, shivering and shaking. To date, no adverse event reports have been received for the second and third lots.
