Abbott FreeStyle Libre Glucose Monitoring Systems Recall

The FreeStyle Libre, FreeStyle Libre 14 day Flash, and FreeStyle Libre 2 Flash Glucose Readers use rechargeable lithium-ion batteries and they may get extremely hot, spark, or catch on fire if not properly stored, charged, or used with the Abbott provided USB cable and power adapter. The Abbott devices’ USB cable and power adapter ensure that the battery charges securely. However, using cables and adapters made by third party manufacturers may enable too much power, which could be dangerous. A total of 88 negative events have already occurred, including 7 fires and 1 injury.

Firstly, please note that the glucose readers aren’t being physically recalled. Instead, if you haven’t experienced any problems, the FDA recommends that you only use the Abbott provided Power Adapter and USB Cable for charging and keep using them normally.

You should stop using your FreeStyle Libre Glucose Monitoring System and request a replacement if:

• You notice that the reader is damaged or cracked
• There is visible swelling of the reader
• The reader gets too hot to hold
• The reader can no longer hold a charge
• You no longer have the Abbott provided Power Adapter and USB Cable
