Discolored Acetaminophen Inj (Hikma Lot 2307123.1)

We are encountering odd issue at our site with discolored acetaminophen injection (pink-ish discoloration). Expected appearance is clear, colorless to faint yellow, per pkg insert. We are actively working through this issue with the manufacturer, but curious if others have experienced similar, maybe with a different lot than we have (below).

Picture featured appearance is attached, but may not be able to read specifics. Including as follows- Product: Acetaminophen 1000mg/100mL bag, Mfg: Hikma, NDC: 00143-9386-01, Lot: 2307123.1

Interestingly this is the same NDC that was featured in recent NAN alert, but different lot.

Thanks,
