One lot of acetaminophen injections 1000mg/100mL, (10mg/mL) was recalled (Lot No24070381), due to the possible presence of a bag labeled dexmedetomidine inside the acetaminophen overwrap. If a provider administers dexmedetomidine instead of acetaminophen, there are multiple potential adverse outcomes that may result including varying degrees of sedation, bradypnea, bradycardia, hypertension, and hypotension or more serious and potentially life-threatening outcomes. To date, the manufacturer has received one report of an adverse event.
