NIPRO SYRINGE 3ML WITH NEEDLE

Description of Event or Problem

THERE IS SOMETHING FAULTY WITH NIPRO'S 3ML LEUR LOCK SYRINGES WITH 22G 1.5" NEEDLES. WHEN MEDICATION IS DRAWN INTO THE SYRINGE, IT APPEARS THAT THE PLUNGER BEGINS TO DISSOLVE. A BLACK MATERIAL COMES OFF OF THE PLUNGER AND CONTAMINATES THE MEDICATION IN THE SYRINGE. I REALIZED THIS DURING THE 4TH INJECTION (THE BLACK PARTICULATE WAS LARGE ENOUGH TO READILY NOTICE). AFTER MY INITIAL INJECTION USING THESE SYRINGES, I FELT MORE PAIN AT INJECTION SITE THAN I HAVE PREVIOUSLY WITH THE SAME MEDICATION, CHILLS, FULL BODY ACHES, AND FEVER. IT IS LIKELY THAT I'VE BEEN INJECTING PARTICULATE ALONG WITH MEDICATION.
