FDA recommends not using syringes from Chinese firm after safety issues with vaccine injections

The US Food and Drug Administration on Thursday asked healthcare providers to stop using certain syringes and needles manufactured by Chinese medical device maker Guangdong Haiou Medical Apparatus Co (HAIOU).

At least one pharmacist that Reuters spoke to said the syringes had been shipped for use with the Pfizer Inc/BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine.
