Action taken

A recall letter printed on Vygon letterhead dated April 20, 2011 and specific to each customer was sent via overnight courier mail. The letter described the affected product, issue and actions to take. Customers were instructed to check their inventory for the recalled products, cease use and distribution, and quarantine all affected product. Each customer received a custom copy of the letter with the specific product codes and lots that were shipped to them described in the Recall Acknowledgement and Inventory Return Form. Distributors were provided with instructions on how to handle product that was further distributed by them. The firm issued an updated Recall Notice dated May 31, 2011 to two consignees effected by the expanded recall.
