FDA root cause
Other
Action
The recalling firm contacted all fifteen (15) of its distributor/customers (not just the distributors that received the affected devices) via telephone on 4/3-5/2006 in order to inform them that the User Instructions had not been included with the needle containment devices that were shipped between 7/5/2005 and 4/3/2006. The firm asked that the distributors check their inventories and if it was determined that User Instructions were missing, report the amount needed to the recalling firm which would in turn send them out. The firm followed up on their recall action via telephone on 7/11/2006, at which time, it was determined that that all of the distributors either had old User Instructions in stock for distribution, or that there were no affected device units left in inventory.
