Background: Baxter Healthcare is recalling one batch of Compound Sodium Lactate (Hartmann’s Solution) 1000mL. This is due to a packaging error where some cartons within this batch labelled as Hartmann’s Solution may contain Ringer’s Solution 1000mL. This means the wrong product may be inside the box (mixed product in carton). Advice for Healthcare Professionals: Stop supplying the above batch immediately. Quarantine all stock and return it to your supplier using your supplier’s approved process.
