The recall is for 0.9% sodium chloride injection 500 mL. The questionable intravenous saline solution units — which were manufactured in Marion, N.C. — were missing closures and were experiencing leaks, according to an U.S. Food and Drug Administration statement quoted in the report.
In 2014, Baxter recalled five other saline solution products.
