Virbac AH, Inc: Various Pet Medications and Shampoo Recalled for Missing Labels

Agency Publication Date: October 26, 2015

Summary

Virbac AH, Inc. is recalling approximately 32,712 units of three different pet products, including KetoChlor Medicated Shampoo, UROEZE 400 (ammonium chloride), and Virbantel (pyrantel pamoate/praziquantel) flavored de-worming chewables. These products were distributed nationwide and in Puerto Rico because they may be missing required labeling, which is essential for proper use and safety. Consumers who have these products should verify their lot numbers and contact their veterinarian or pharmacist immediately regarding the safety and use of the medication.

Risk

Missing labels on medication and medicated shampoo prevent owners from seeing critical dosage instructions, active ingredients, and safety warnings. This can lead to incorrect administration of the drug, potential overdose, or the use of a product on a species for which it was not intended, which may cause adverse health reactions in pets.
