REASON:

This product is being voluntarily recalled because the Honey Bee Venom vials in these packages state an incorrect strength on the vial label. The vial label indicates 100mg/mL; it should state 100ug/mL. The contents of the vial are correct. Upon reconstitution with 1.2mL of diluent the vial would contain 100ug/mL. The Package Label and the Package Insert both correctly state ug/mL. If physicians follow the reconstitution directions on the Package Label and Package Insert the resulting product would be 100ug/mL. Customers are asked to return all product to Hollister-Stier.
