Lethabarb Euthanasia Injection
Reference: 2022/011
Published date: 5 April 2022
Identifying features
Name: Lethabarb Euthanasia Injection
APVMA registration number: 47815
Batch number(s):
- 250 mL pack size: 62392V1, 62783V1, 63066V1, 63497V1, 63572V1
- 450mL pack size: 61742V1, 61859V1, 62152V1, 62392V2, 62603V1, 62783V2, 63066V2, 63114V1, 63497V2, 63572V2
Reason for recall
This is not a product nor a batch recall.
Virbac has recently received a few reports about the cap on the Lethabarb bottle, which in a very limited number of units presents a slight possibility of the rubber seal coming off the bottle whilst removing the red cap.
Hazard
While the risk of the closure system failing is low, we advise that you take particular care (i.e. apply gentle force) when removing the red cap from the Lethabarb bottle.
What to do
The liquid inside the bottle is fit for use, however, to minimise the risk of potential exposure, if there is any concern that the cap is loose (i.e. when applying gentle force the red seal + crimp turns) it is recommended that you do not use the product and contact the Virbac Customer Service Team on 1800 242 100 for a replacement and further advice on secure disposal.
