What You Should Do

Remedy

The firm initiated the recall on 06/01/2007 by sending recall letters with attached Customer Reply form via FedEx to each direct account that received the recalled product. Customers were informed of the issue and given instructions for modification to the SmartWash feature in the Lipase Assay Configuration in order to prevent Acetaminophen from contaminating Lipase.
