The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is notifying health care professionals
  and patients that Tyco Healthcare Group LP (Covidien)
  is recalling one lot of ReliOn sterile, single-use, disposable, hypodermic
  syringes with permanently affixed hypodermic needles due to possible mislabeling.
  The use of these syringes may lead to patients receiving an overdose of as
  much as 2.5 times the intended dose, which may lead to hypoglycemia, serious
health consequences, and even death.



The recall applies to the following lot number and product information:

  -- Lot Number 813900

  -- ReliOn 1cc, 31-gauge, 100 units for use with U-100 insulin 
These syringes are distributed by Can-Am Care Corp and sold only by Wal-Mart
  at Wal-Mart stores and Sam's Clubs under the ReliOn name
