EpiPen Recalled
The recall is being done because the allergy shots may not work.
According to WTEN, a notice was issued Friday by Mylan N.V. that 13 lots of EpiPen's distributed from December 2015 through July 2016 need to be recalled due to reports of them failing to work.
At this time, the only Epipens being recalled in the United States are ones that were distributed between Dec. 17, 2015, and July 1, 2016.
If you have EpiPens that are not part of the recall you do not need to replace them prior to its expiration date.
