Hospira BAC Availability

Wow, I been away too long and can't believe how much they raised bac water . What a scam. Is there another brand other than Hospira recommended?
As best as I can discern from FDA filings available online, Pfizer/Hospira is the only company producing BAC (that is "FDA-approved" anyway) for the US market.
 
I love me some Indian Parma; however, I would be remiss if I didn’t remind people that water in India has some of the dirtiest water on earth. Please be careful. I don’t know any of you personally, but you are my peeps now and while it’s fun to rag on each other sometimes, I do care about your safety.
After reading about it more, I will only use the Indian BAC water as a backup:

Three deaths, eight cases of blindness and dozens of infections have been traced to EzriCare artificial tears, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), leading to a widespread recall this year.

For tablets from India, I try to get ones by Sun Pharma if possible, since they are the most inspected by the FDA it seems, as the fourth largest generic manufacturer in the world.

Another manufacturer I trust is Dr. Reddy, which has contracts with Merck.

I can't find anything about it yet.

Was it one of the small, race-to-the-bottom manufacturers?
 
I bought from Ebac last summer. I think their label was white where the common Hospira label is currently black (where the expiration date is). This difference was part of the counterfeit speculation. Apparently (word on the street) was an acceptable (non counterfeit) Hospira bac water possibly sourced from Canada, a practice they may have had to discontinue. They are still around with Hospira looking "generic" water.

I used 3 bottles of the "Canadian" Ebac Hospira w/o issue.
I was on a forum last night and someone there stated they had bought 5vials of Hospira bac water. You're saying these are fake/counterfeit?

There is legitimate Pfizer BAC from Canada that is labeled to comply with the language laws, and because the Hospira brand name was retired in Canada after the Pfizer acquisition in ~2015 they had to remove that branding from the labels so they only bear the Pfizer name and logo.

However there is A LOT of fake "Canadian" BAC showing up on the market lately so it's a huge crapshoot and not worth it IMHO. I covered some of it here: https://glp1forum.com/threads/beware-fake-hospira-bac-water.4162/

P.S. @roksolidz, you're brand new here so follow the rules and quit mentioning vendor names in every single post and spamming threads like this one with that crap.
