- Action
- On May 9, 2008, BARD began distribution of an Urgent Recall Notice with fax-back attachment to all customers in the United States via overnight carrier (FedEx). The Notice informed customers of the problem and the risks associated with the use of this product. The letter instructed their customers to check all inventory locations for the recalled product, remove and return affected product to BPV. The letter also asked their customers to share this information regarding the recall with physicians that perform procedures with the affected product at their facility. Once the product affected by the recall has been removed from their inventory, the customers were asked to contact the BPV Recall Coordinator at 1-800-321-4254 X 2727 to obtain a Return Authorization Number to facilitate replacement of the returned devices. A mailing label was enclosed to return the recalled product.
