Firm Action

Kerr sent an Urgent Medical Device Recall letter to consignees via USPS first class mail the week of September 8, 2008, requesting they return the product for replacement or credit. The recall notification requested the return of the affected products because the material appears to stiffen and become difficult to extrude over time. Customers were instructed if they have any of the affected lots of product in their inventory to immediately return it to Kerr. Any product returned will be replaced at no charge or credited to your account. In addition, customers were instructed to fax the attached Recall Return Form to 714-516-7739. If the customers were an authorized Kerr distributor, they were requested to identify and recover the affected product lots listed on the attached Lot Number Table that may have been shipped to their customers. Also, customers were instructed to contact Kerr Customer Care at 1 -800-537-7123 directly to handle the arrangements of a quick return and replacement
