The product recall is due to the potential that these devices may contain a defective part that may result in the devices failure to activate. While the number of reported failures is small, EpiPen products that potentially contain a defective part are being recalled because of the potential for life-threatening risk if a severe allergic reaction goes untreated. It is important that you continue to carry your current EpiPen Auto-Injector until you receive a replacement device. As stated on the product label, you should always seek emergency medical help right away after using your EpiPen, particularly if the device did not activate.
