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.

For further information

Please direct all calls and any queries concerning this voluntary recall to the Virbac Customer Service Team on 1800 242 100.

Reason for recall

Stability trial testing of affected batches demonstrated that the Cephalexin content of Rilexine tablets decreased over time to such a level, that it fails the minimum specification.
