Just got this today in a nursing bulletin -
Nipro

Audience: Pharmacists, diabetes
healthcare professionals, consumers
Nipro Medical Corporation
and FDA notified healthcare professionals of a voluntary nationwide

needles that detach from the syringe. If the needle becomes detached
from the syringe during use, it can become stuck in the insulin
vial, push back into the syringe, or remain in the skin after
injection. This recall includes all product codes and lot numbers
with expiration dates before 2011-11 (November 1, 2011). Product was
distributed nationwide, including Puerto Rico. Consumers who have
GlucoPro Insulin Syringes should stop using and return them to point
