Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Pfizer Inc. is recalling 1,978 bottles of ALBON (sulfadimethoxine) boluses, a veterinary medication used for animals, because the tablets may contain mold. The company received several consumer complaints about the product appearing moldy, which led to an investigation confirming the presence of the fungus Penicillium chrysogenum. This recall affects 50-count bottles of both 5 g and 15 g boluses distributed across the United States and Puerto Rico.

Risk

The presence of Penicillium chrysogenum mold in the medication can compromise the safety and quality of the drug. Exposure to moldy medication may lead to adverse health effects or reduced treatment efficacy in the animals receiving the boluses.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify if you have the affected veterinary products: check for ALBON (sulfadimethoxine) 5 g boluses (Recall #V-058-2011) or ALBON (sulfadimethoxine) 15 g boluses (Recall #V-059-2011) in 50-count bottles.
  2. Visually inspect the boluses for any signs of mold, discoloration, or unusual appearance as reported by other users.
  3. Immediately stop using the affected medication for your animals to prevent potential health risks from mold exposure.
  4. Contact your veterinarian or healthcare provider to discuss alternative treatments for your animals and to report any health issues observed after using this product.
  5. Contact Pfizer Animal Health or the place of purchase for instructions on how to return any unused bottles for a refund.
