Summary

Bimeda, Inc. is recalling approximately 15,618 units of various animal anti-infective products, including Osborn Spectam Water Soluble Concentrate and SpecLinx-50, due to mold contamination. A percentage of canisters in specific lots have developed mold, which can compromise the safety and effectiveness of the medication. No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with these products, which are used to treat infections in animals and chickens.
