The recall attorneys at Jones Ward PLC wanted to highlight this terrifying update about arthritis medication methotrexate, which was recalled October 28th after glass flakes were found in four lots of injections. Sandoz, the drug's maker, recalled two different sizes: 50 mg and 250 mg vials.

If injected into the body, the flakes of glass might travel through a patient's bloodstream into major organs, causing life-threatening side-effects, including death. The 50 mg lot numbers were:

92395606, 92760803, 92965104, 92965106, 92965904, 93255704, 93502204, 93635404, 93681704, 93794904, 95198604, 95357804, 95537704.

The 250 mg vials were lot numbers:

95987004, 92395703, 92760903, 92965203, 92966003, 93255803, 93502303, 93635503, 93795003, 95198703 and 95357903.

If you or someone you know takes methotrexate, contact your doctor immediately to make sure your product has not been recalled and is safe to use.
