Sanofi UK is initiating an urgent recall of two batches of Targocid 200mg powder for solution for injection/infusion or oral solution (Batch Number 0J25D1 and Batch Number 0J25D2).

This is due to out of specification results obtained for bacterial endotoxins, which has been confirmed through testing of retain samples. This issue was observed following a medical adverse event, which reported that four patients experienced high grade of fever approximately three hours post-administration of vials from the impacted batches.

Due to the out of specification results observed there is a potential life threatening or serious risk to patient health.

This National Patient Safety Alert contains further information and actions for providers.
