Action

The recall letter was sent to customers during the week of 9/26/05. The letters were sent via first class mail for domestic accounts and included a response card. A letter will also be translated into Spanish for Central American customers who will be asked to destroy inventory and return any products at their site and forward confirmation to Rite-Dent of the destruction. The recall letters request that distributors contact their customers and that retailers 'make every effort to contact their accounts'. The firm will contact non-responders. Returned product will be held at Rite-Dent for destruction after FDA notification.
