Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Lloyd Inc. of Iowa is recalling approximately 126,549 bottles of Lloyd Thyro-Tabs (levothyroxine sodium tablets), a medication used to treat thyroid conditions in animals. The recall was initiated because the lot numbers and expiration dates on the bottles may be erased or impossible to read, affecting nine different dosage strengths from 0.1 mg to 1.0 mg. These products were distributed nationwide across the United States, as well as in Puerto Rico, Guatemala, and Israel.

Risk

Illegible or missing expiration dates and lot numbers prevent owners and veterinarians from identifying if a medication is past its shelf life or part of a specific safety recall. Using expired medication may lead to decreased potency, resulting in ineffective treatment for the animal's thyroid condition.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your medication bottles of Lloyd Thyro-Tabs (levothyroxine sodium) for dosage strengths including 0.1 mg, 0.2 mg, 0.3 mg, 0.4 mg, 0.5 mg, 0.6 mg, 0.7 mg, 0.8 mg, and 1.0 mg.
  2. Examine the label to see if the lot number or expiration date is blurry, missing, or erased. Affected lot numbers include VKE29211, KB33411, KB33411A, KA32111, KA32111A, KB33611, KB33611A, KA32511, VKA31311, KD33611, KD33611A, VKB30711, VKB02412, VKF33611, and VKF33611A.
  3. If the information is illegible or matches the affected lots, contact your veterinarian or pharmacist to discuss whether a replacement is necessary for your pet's treatment.
  4. Return any unused or illegible product to the pharmacy or place of purchase for a refund or further instruction.
  5. Contact Lloyd Inc. of Iowa at their Shenandoah location for more information regarding this voluntary recall.
  6. For additional questions, contact the FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine at 1-888-INFO-FDA (1-888-463-6332).
