Action
Consignees were initially called and told over the phone not to further distribute the contact lenses. For two consignees whose patients could not be reached by phone, a letter was sent. The consignee letter states the specific product and lot should not be further distributed due to the lack of sterility assurance. A business reply card was provided with the letter and contacts should be returned to the manufacturer using a label provided by the firm.
