Novo Nordisk recalls sales rep samples sunk by Texas power outages

There’s a saying about Texas weather—if you don’t like it, wait five minutes. For Novo Nordisk, the state’s extreme weather hit home early this year when the biggest winter storm in decades left some sales reps without power.

No power meant no electricity to keep their drug sample refrigerators cold. The result? Novo is now voluntarily recalling 1,468 samples of its Levemir, Tresiba, Fiasp, Novolog and Xultophy insulin products.
