Identifying features

Name: Shiba fungicide

APVMA Registration Number: 66032

APVMA Label Number: 113886

Batch Number: 56126/1 and 54910/2

Reason for recall

This voluntary recall is being conducted due to two-phase separation caused by viscosity change during product storage. The issue causes handling difficulties as the product cannot be decanted from the packaging. 

Hazard

Sediment being very dense prohibits decanting and reduces the usability of the product. Two-phase separation may affect the efficacy of the product. In the case where the product is decanted, exposure to the sediment may pose a risk to human health.

What to do

DO NOT use the product from batch numbers 56126/1 and 54910/2. Contact your wholesaler/retailer to arrange return and credit for the product from the affected batch. Wholesalers/ retailers should immediately quarantine all the stock on hand of the recalled product and contact SUMITOMO CHEMICAL AUSTRALIA PTY. LIMITED to arrange return and credit for the affected units.
