Hospira has initiated a voluntary recall of one lot of its sodium chloride injection, USP as an incorrect barcode label meant medication errors could occur.

The lot may have been labeled as 5% Dextrose Injection, USP and consequently could be administered incorrectly.

Potential adverse events include electrolyte imbalance, cardiac dysfunction, gastrointestinal disturbances, paresthesia and mental confusion.
