Recall details

Recalling firm
Becton Dickinson & Company
Reason for recall
Mislabeling : box and bag labels are incorrectly labeled to indicate the product contains Sodium Fluoride/Potassium Oxalate, however the instructions for use and the product itself are correct in the additive indicated and used (Sodium Fluoride/Na2EDTA).
Action taken
Product Recall letters dated May 1, 2007. were sent to all distributors by first class mail. The letter requested all distributors to examine inventory for specific catalog and lot numbers. It also requested distributors to send a copy of the enclosed customer letter to all customers as a subrecall. BD has contracted a third party (West Inc., Appleton, Wisconsin) to coordinate the mailing to all customers, if the firm chooses to use the third party, or the distributor can send the letters themselves.
