Do you use the inhalers by GlaxoSmithKline, LLC,  i.e. GSK? Then you must have heard the news. And for those of you who don’t know there is a defect in these inhalers.

According to an FDA statement Inhalers by GSK, GlaxoSmithKline, LLC, recalled due to a defective delivery system. We are talking about nearly 600,000 Asthma Inhalers. There is a nationwide distribution of the inhalers.

In fact, GlaxoSmithKline made a recall of the product voluntarily on April 4,  reported by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America’s website.

Three impacted lots of Ventolin HFA 200D Inhalers with lot numbers of 6ZP9944, 6ZP9848, 6ZP0003.

Although the defects are not dangerous to them, the users can return them. The reason why they returned them is that the inhalers didn’t have leak rates. According to GSK as a result of the issue, they don’t expect to have an impact on the supply to Ventolin HFA 200D inhaler.
