Baxter International Inc. announced on Aug. 25, 2026, a voluntary nationwide recall of 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection 500mL VIAFLEX Plastic Container. The recall was prompted by the potential presence of particulate matter identified as fiberglass in the solution, which may result in serious adverse health consequences, including blood vessel blockage, pulmonary embolism, organ damage, allergic reactions or death. The product is FDA-approved as a source of water and electrolytes and for use as a priming solution in hemodialysis procedures. For more information, see here.
