On August 19, 2013, Alexion Pharma (Nasdaq: ALXN) International Sárl, a subsidiary of Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc., initiated a voluntary recall and replacement of the remaining vials of a single lot of Soliris® (eculizumab) due to the presence of visible particles in a limited number of vials in this single lot.
