Description
Ferring Pharmaceuticals Limited is recalling the above batches of GONAPEPTYL Depot 3.75mg due to a defect noticed in the seal of the needle wrapping for the CE-marked 30-millimeter (30mm) needle for subcutaneous injection that is supplied with each product pack. Slight damage was detected in some sterile needle blisters, which renders the sealing to be incomplete. A small breach was observed at the peel-away opening of the needle blister, potentially compromising the sterility of the needle. The defect appears as a slight separation between the plastic and paper portions of the needle packaging. There is no quality issue with the drug product.
