First Priority, Inc. has recalled approximately 10,498 gallons of animal anti-diarrheal liquid suspensions, including Priority Care 1 Kaolin Pectin and Bismusol. The recall was initiated because the products were manufactured with an ingredient that tested above safety specifications for bacteria (Aerobic Plate Count) and yeast. These veterinary products were sold nationwide in gallon and quart containers under various brand names including Kao-Pec, Bismusal, and Gastro-Cote. Consumers should stop using the affected products immediately and contact their veterinarian or pharmacist for guidance.
The contamination of the product's ingredients with excessive bacteria and yeast may cause infections or worsen health conditions in animals being treated for diarrhea. While no specific animal illnesses were reported in the announcement, high microbial counts in oral medications pose a health risk to livestock and pets.
