Two days ago a recall was issued for Baxter IV saline due to contamination with fibreglass. Today Braun IV saline is being recalled for zinc oxide contamination. Both of these things can kill you. The rapid increase in recalls, food safety issues and supply chain problems will disproportionately harm the elderly and disabled. It’s another way they’re practicing eugenics: https://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls-market-withdrawals-safety-alerts/b-braun-medical-inc-issues-voluntary-nationwide-recall-09-sodium-chloride-injection-usp-100-ml-150 #uspol #fascism #disability #eugenics #fda #supplychain

@broadwaybabyto@zeroes.ca affects pets too. We have a cat with advanced CKD so we give him subq fluids every other day. These saline recalls have our anxiety levels dialed way up. Thankfully so far, the fluids he gets hasn't been affected.

@broadwaybabyto@zeroes.ca curious where they were manufactured, FDA really don't provide much info as far as how/when it was discovered, etc- was it via inspection, something bad happened to patients? A lot of (most?) of Baxter's saline bags are coming out of North Cove from what I understand- which had to come out from underwater from Helene in 2024- i'd be curious if the affected product came from there or imported.

@broadwaybabyto@zeroes.ca The idea used to be stop the bad stuff before it hits the marketplace. Now it's ooops, maybe we can catch it after it has harmed x number of people...ooops. Corrupted FDA follows Grumpo's "I don't care" model.

@broadwaybabyto@zeroes.ca the next, even more horrifying phase, is when they *stop* doing the recalls...
