FDA Drug Safety Labeling Changes

I noted the FDA has recently updated the "Warnings and Precautions" section of the drug labeling for several paralytics to include a new subsection "Risk of Death Due to Medication Errors".

I don't recall seeing this subsection for other medications but perhaps I am mistaken. Has anyone noticed this subsection added to other agents?

I could easily see this subsection being applied to all high alert medications to some degree. Pondering if there are any potential future regulatory considerations. Also wondering if I have missed some information along the way regarding this subsection.
