Days af­ter it was re­vealed that Eli Lil­ly’s di­a­betes in­jec­tion kit had been re­called af­ter a re­port of a mix­up of glucagon sub­stance, Reuters has re­port­ed the kits were man­u­fac­tured in the In­di­anapo­lis plant called out in a Form 483.

On Sept. 24, the kit was re­called af­ter liq­uid glucagon re­placed the pow­dered ver­sion in the kit, which could fail to treat se­vere low blood sug­ar, due to a loss of po­ten­cy. If not re­versed, ex­treme low blood sug­ar can lead to neu­ro­log­i­cal dam­age, seizures, and death. One lot, D239382D with an ex­pi­ra­tion date of April 2022, has been re­called, and the com­pa­ny is­sued a re­call the fol­low­ing day.
