A recall for EpiPens will now extend to Asia, Europe, North America, and South America:

Generic drugmaker Mylan NV said on Friday that its manufacturing partner for EpiPen devices had expanded a recall of the life-saving allergy shot in the United States and other markets.

The announcement comes a week after Mylan said it had recalled about 81,000 EpiPen devices in countries outside the United States following two reports of the company's allergy treatment failing to work in emergencies.

[Ed. Note: This recall is limited to some lot numbers distributed in late 2015 and early-to-mid 2016. More information at the US FDA website.]
