EpiPen makers recalling some devices

(WFLA) – Mylan and Meridian Medical Technologies, the companies who Florida manufacture EpiPens, have expanded a voluntary recall of select lots of EpiPen and EpiPen Jr auto-injectors.

The voluntary recall comes after two reports outside of the United States that the allergy shot did not work in emergencies.

The recalled products include the 0.3 and 0.15 strengths of the EpiPen auto-injector, distributed between December 2015 and July 2016.

Below is the full listed of recalled Epipen products:
