Action Taken
The recalling firm issued letters dated 5/16/2022 on 5/20/2022 via FedEx to the U.S. customers. The letter explained the issue, provided details on the affected device to assist in the identification of the product involved, and requested the consignee immediately check their inventory for the affected product and quarantine it. An Acknowledgment Form was enclosed for completion and return to the recalling firm. The consignee was to share the letter with others in their facility who need to be made aware of the recall and with any other facility that may have been sent the affected units.
