Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Intervet Inc. is recalling 553 pails of Safe Guard (fenbendazole) (0.42%) Medicated Dewormer 35% Salt, a free-choice mineral mix used for beef and dairy cattle. The recall was initiated because the product was shipped without a label, meaning essential dosage instructions, safety warnings, and ingredient information are missing. The affected product was sold in 20-pound pails and shipped to distributors in cartons containing two pails each. This missing information can lead to incorrect administration of the medication to livestock.

Risk

A missing label means livestock owners lack critical information on the correct dosage and safety precautions for the medication fenbendazole. Incorrect dosing could result in ineffective treatment of parasites or potential health risks to the cattle if administered improperly.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your inventory for 20 lb pails of Safe Guard (fenbendazole) (0.42%) Medicated Dewormer 35% Salt, specifically looking for any containers that are missing their product label.
  2. Identify the product by the NADA number 137-600 and Recall number V-259-3 if available on the shipping carton or documentation.
  3. If you have a pail without a label, do not use the product as it lacks critical dosage and safety instructions.
  4. Contact your veterinarian or pharmacist immediately for guidance on how to handle the unlabeled product and to ensure your cattle receive the correct medication.
  5. Return any unlabeled pails to the place of purchase for a refund or contact Intervet Inc. for further instructions.
  6. For additional questions, contact the FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine at 240-402-7002.
