The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has advised Americans to not use plastic syringes made in China, as further investigation shows that the products’ problem is “more widespread” than expected.

The FDA announced in November 2023 that it was looking into reports of leaks, breakages, changes of dimensions, and other quality problems with plastic syringes manufactured in China. The agency was conducting further investigations along with federal partners and “as necessary, may prevent syringes made in China from entering the United States.”
