Virbac AH, Inc: Breath-eze Relief Tablets Recalled for Missing Active Gas-Relief Ingredients

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Virbac AH, Inc. is recalling approximately 2,100 units of Breath-eze Breath & Gas Relief Tablets for Dogs (containing activated charcoal and simethicone). The recall was initiated because the product was found to contain Breath-eze chewable breath mints instead of the intended gas relief formula, meaning it lacks the active ingredients necessary to treat digestive gas in pets. The affected tablets were distributed in Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Ohio, New Jersey, Arizona, North Carolina, Nebraska, and Canada. Consumers who have purchased this product should consult with their veterinarian or pharmacist for guidance and may return any unused portion for a refund.

Risk

The product lacks the active ingredients simethicone and activated charcoal required to provide gas relief for dogs. This defect means a pet suffering from gas or digestive distress will not receive the intended therapeutic treatment, which could lead to prolonged discomfort or untreated symptoms.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify if you have Breath-eze Breath & Gas Relief Tablets for Dogs (activated charcoal, simethicone) in your possession by checking the product label and packaging.
  2. Check the bottle for Recall Number V-186-4 to confirm if your specific unit is part of the 2,100 affected products.
  3. Stop using the tablets for gas relief immediately, as they contain only breath mint ingredients and do not provide the medicinal benefits of simethicone or activated charcoal.
  4. Contact your veterinarian or pharmacist for advice on an alternative gas relief treatment for your dog.
  5. Return any unused product to the place of purchase for a full refund and contact Virbac AH, Inc. at their Fort Worth, Texas headquarters for further instructions.
  6. For additional questions or to report an issue, contact the FDA Consumer Complaint Coordinator in your state or call the FDA at 1-888-INFO-FDA (1-888-463-6332).
