Action

The recalling firm issued letters on 10/31/2024 dated 11/1/2024 via email to their consignees extending the voluntary recall from 29 August 2024 to include additional lot numbers of Hemospray Endoscopic Hemostat devices due to the receipt of additional complaints and adverse events since the recall was originally initiated.
