"Return your Emerade auto-injector to your pharmacy for a suitable replacement as soon as possible," the May 5 recall notice states. "If a life-threatening allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) happens before you can get a replacement, use your recalled Emerade and then seek emergency medical attention."
The recall covers all 0.3 and 0.5 mg Emerade auto-injectors that were distributed in Canada between April 2022 and May 2023. The devices are made by Quebec-based pharmaceutical company Bausch Health.
