A single puncture mark was identified in the primary container which could result in leakage difficult to be identified. Although no adverse events have been reported but due to potential contamination, wastage and spillage of drug, inappropriate dosing and delay in therapy which has hazardous effects due to the leakage the lots are being recalled.
The root cause is identified as a defect in the conveyance system and corrective actions have been already implemented to avoid occurrence in future.
