The FDA and the drugmaker Novo Nordisk are testing the shots and do not yet have information about the fake drugs' identity, quality or safety. Consumers should avoid products labeled with lot number NAR0074 and serial number 430834149057. The FDA says some of the fake products may still be for sale.
