Bell-More Labs Veterinary Solutions Recalled for Manufacturing Deficiencies

Agency Publication Date: November 27, 2024

Summary

Bell-More Labs, Inc. is recalling 364,082 vials of various veterinary injectable products, including Hyaluronate Sodium, Polyglycan, and A-CYST, due to Current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) deficiencies. These deficiencies mean the products may not have been manufactured under proper quality control standards, which could compromise their safety or effectiveness for animals. The recalled items were distributed nationwide through distributors in Kentucky and Illinois and were sold in individual vials placed in cartons and shipping boxes.

Risk

The manufacturing deficiencies could lead to quality issues or contamination that may pose health risks to animals receiving these injections. No specific animal injuries have been reported to date, but the lack of manufacturing oversight creates a medium-level risk for patients.
