EPIPEN 300 microgram (µg) Adrenaline Injection Syringe Auto-Injector (AUST R 42978)

Consumers should check if they have a 300 µg EpiPen® (yellow carton and label) and if so, check the batch number and expiry. The batch number and expiry can be found on the label of the pen or on the end of the carton. If the EpiPen® 300µg has the following batch numbers: 5FA665, 5FA6651, 5FA6652 or 5FA6653 and an expiry of Apr 17, it needs to be replaced with a new one as soon as possible. Consumers should return it to their pharmacist who will replace the EpiPen® 300µg from the affected batch with an EpiPen® 300µg from a different batch at no cost. Consumers must keep their current EpiPen® until they get a replacement and use it if required. At this time, EpiPen® Jr 150µg Adrenaline Injection Syringe Auto-Injectors and all other batches of EpiPen® 300µg Adrenaline Injection Syringe Auto-Injectors are unaffected and are not subject to this recall.
