Recalling firm
Abbott Laboratories HPD/ADD/GPRD
Reason for recall

Action taken
Abbott sent 'Important Product Information' letters dated 12/2/03 to the end user accounts, advising them of the error in conversion of the Celsius temperature range to Farenheit in the first step in preparing the Terg-A-Zyme cleaning solution.
