Artco Chemicals Inc: BIODINE 110 Teat Dip Recalled for Failing Potency Specifications

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Artco Chemicals Inc. is recalling approximately 55 units of BIODINE 110 Teat Dip because the product fails to meet its required potency specifications for the active ingredient, Iodine 1%. The recall affects 30 of the 55-gallon drums and 25 of the 5-gallon pails sold to a distributor in New York. Because the product does not meet potency standards, it may not effectively perform its intended function of cleaning and protecting livestock, potentially leading to inadequate sanitation.

Risk

The product lacks the correct concentration of the active ingredient (Iodine), which may result in ineffective disinfection and could fail to prevent infections in treated animals.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify if you have BIODINE 110 Teat Dip (Active Ingredient - Iodine 1%) in your possession, specifically in 55-gallon drums or 5-gallon pails.
  2. Check the manufacturer label for 'Artco Distribution Inc., 64 Hannay Lane, Glenmont, NY 12077' and recall number V-112-4.
  3. Stop using any product from the affected 55-gallon drums (30 units) or 5-gallon pails (25 units) immediately.
  4. Contact your veterinarian or a healthcare provider for guidance regarding the health of livestock that may have been treated with this lower-potency product.
  5. Return any unused product to the place of purchase or contact Artco Chemicals Inc. at (518) 436-4676 for instructions on receiving a refund or replacement.
  6. For additional questions or to report issues, contact the FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine at 1-240-402-7002.
