    Description

    Premier brand Toxins A & B, diagnostic test kits, one kit per pouch, one pouch per shipping box.

    Reason

    Due to defective packaging, the firm cannot assure product stability through the labeled expiration date.

    Action

If properly sealed, the use of the microwells may be continued. Test wells in pouches with defective seals are to be quarantined and destroyed. The customers are asked to report back to the firm. All test microwell plates in defective pouches will be replaced by the firm.

    Distribution

    The kits were distributed to end-users and distributors located nationwide; and to foreign distributors located in China, Guatemala, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Mexico, Great Britain, Belgium, Italy, Brazil, Australia, Canada, Thailand, Honduras, and Japan.
