    With the price skyrocketing you’d think they’d spend an extra few pence on Quality control.

    Thanks for highlighting this, with allergies becoming more prevalent it helps with those of us who have kids carrying epi-pens that people are getting more aware of the importance of them

    Epipen last 20 monthes after production date, thanks for reporting, but going back have you thought why the issue is discovered/reported nearly 17 month after the lot (expiring on may 2017) was produced?
