An FDA [safety alert](https://www.fda.gov/drugs/drug-safety-and-availability/fda-alerts-patients-and-health-care-professionals-amneal-and-impax-laboratories-epinephrine-auto?ref=fdaweb.com) asks patients, caregivers and health care professionals to immediately inspect certain lots of Amneal and Impax epinephrine auto-injector 0.3 mg to ensure the yellow “stop collar” in the device is present. Letters to consumers and health professionals detail how certain lots of these devices might not contain the stop collar, noting that, if missing, the device has a potential safety risk of delivering a double dose of epinephrine to a patient, the agency says. Patients and health care professionals are advised to contact the companies to assist in determining if the stop collar is missing and to make arrangements to return defective devices and obtain a replacement.
