Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Aviva Products has recalled approximately 776 gallons of Chap-Free Teat Dip and Pre-Milking Udder Wash because the products underwent inadequate testing before being released for sale. Specifically, the company failed to conduct proper release testing for active ingredients, meaning the potency and safety of the chemicals used to sanitize dairy animal udders cannot be guaranteed. This recall affects 502 gallons of the Teat Dip and 274 gallons of the Udder Wash distributed in Maryland and Pennsylvania.

Risk

Inadequate testing for active ingredients means these veterinary sanitizing products may not contain the correct concentrations of chlorhexidine or other ingredients. This could result in ineffective sanitation or potential irritation to animals, which may compromise animal health and the safety of the milking process.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify your product by checking the label for 'Chap-Free Teat Dip with Chlorhexidine and Glycerine' (One Gallon size) with Recall Number V-217-2010.
  2. Check your supply for 'PRE-MILKING UDDER WASH with Cocoa Butter & Chlorhexidine and Glycerine' (One Gallon size) with Recall Number V-218-2010.
  3. Immediately stop using the affected teat dip or udder wash products on animals.
  4. Contact your healthcare provider, veterinarian, or pharmacist for guidance regarding any concerns about animal health related to these products.
  5. Return any unused gallon containers to the place of purchase for a refund or contact Aviva Products at 610-678-9440 for further instructions.
  6. Contact the FDA Consumer Complaint Coordinator for your region if you have additional questions at 1-888-463-6332.
