As previously reported by HFA and NHF, Takeda announced the recall of two lots of VONVENDI von Willebrand factor (recombinant) 1,300 I.U. vials on February 25, 2020. HFA and NHF recognize that recalls can be very unsettling for many in the bleeding disorders community. On February 27, 2020, the patient organizations announced that they had submitted a letter to Takeda with follow-up questions regarding the pharmacy-level VONVENDI recall. Takeda responded to the HFA-NHF letter late yesterday; you can read Takeda’s responses here.
HFA and NHF will continue to keep the bleeding disorders community informed as any further information is gathered.
