NOT ALL SYRINGES ARE CREATED EQUAL

FDA’s Investigation into Syringes Manufactured in China

In light of recent developments regarding the FDA’s investigation of syringes manufactured in China, we want to take this opportunity to reaffirm our unwavering commitment to manufacturing syringes in the United States with unrivaled quality and reliability.

On March 18, 2024, the FDA issued warning letters to multiple manufacturers in China, citing various violations. Furthermore, the FDA’s safety communication highlighted that issues with syringes made in China are more widespread than previously known, prompting a recommendation for immediate transition away from such products.

Recent national news coverage has shed light on a broader quality concern, encompassing more syringe manufacturers in China, citing multiple class one recalls due to syringe quality issues coming from China. This heightened scrutiny underscores the critical importance of ensuring product safety, reliability, and selecting the right syringe supplier.
