Lilly, Eli & Co.: Tylan Soluble Powder Recalled Due to Incorrect Language Labeling

Agency Publication Date: March 22, 2005

Summary

Lilly, Eli & Co. is recalling approximately 1,032 bottles of Elanco brand Tylan soluble (tylosin tartrate) powder (100 g). The recall was initiated because the product packaging is labeled solely in Spanish, which may prevent English-speaking users from understanding critical dosage and safety information. This product is a veterinary antibiotic used for livestock and poultry and was distributed across ten U.S. states including Arizona, California, and Pennsylvania.

Risk

Labels printed only in Spanish can lead to incorrect dosing or improper administration of the medication by English-speaking users. Improper use of veterinary antibiotics can lead to ineffective treatment of the animal or potential safety risks to the handler.
