This came after a customer complaint was received that Potassium Chloride Inj. Bags that had overlap labels of 20 mEq, which incorrectly identify the bag as Potassium Chloride Inj. 10mEq. This mislabeling has the potential to cause harm. If you were harmed due to improperly labeled potassium chloride, you should call the seasoned Chicago-based lawyers of Moll La Group to determine your legal options. Billions have been recovered in cases with which we\u2019ve been involved around the country.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Contact Moll Law Group About a Potassium Chloride Claim<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The manufacturer has recalled certain batches of Potassium Chloride due to the possibility of mislabeling on product overwraps so that certain units are identified as 10 mEq instead of 20 mEq. When that incorrect overwrap is in place, the correct 20 mEq label fixed to the bag can\u2019t be seen easily. This can cause serious problems.<\/p>\n<p>If a health care provider calculates the patient\u2019s dose of the medication using the 10mEq label, the patient will get an intravenous overdose of potassium chloride. This can lead to problems like death from cardiac arrest, dysrhythmias, hypotension, confusion, and neuromuscular dysfunction such as ascending paralysis, vertigo, mental confusion and vertigo. Various groups are at real risk for adverse or even fatal consequences; these groups include premature infants, patients who have had cardiac arrhythmia, patients who have had chronic renal insufficiency or acute renal failure, and patients on chronic\u00a0 parenteral nutrition. However, it should be noted that there haven\u2019t been reports of adverse events due to the mislabeling thus far.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.molllawgroup.com\/blog\/icu-medical-voluntarily-recalls-lots-of-potassium-chloride-injection-bags\/#more-3478\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recently, ICU Medical, Inc. voluntarily recalled certain lots of potassium chloride injection bags with overwrap labels.
