All Auvi-Q epinephrine auto-injector devices were recalled on October 28, 2015.

The reason for the recall of ALL Auvi-Q epinephrine auto-injectors is “potentially inaccurate dosage delivery.” This means that some of the devices may inject less than the total dose of epinephrine if used.

Here are things you can do now:

• Call your provider to get a new prescription for an epinephrine auto-injector.
