Kirkman recalls Five-Star Vasocaine spray and Maximum lidocaine creams because expiry dates are not supported by testing

Testing data does not back up the expiration dates on these numbing spray and cream products, which contain lidocaine, so they may not stay effective through the date printed on the label.

What to do

Check whether you have any of these Dermal Source products and look at the product details in the official notice. The notice does not give other instructions, so read it for details.

Note from Recalled Today: Don't stop taking a prescribed medicine before you talk to your pharmacist or doctor.
