Virbac AH, Inc. has recalled approximately 237,708 units of Horse and Colt Wormer (pyrantel tartrate 1.25%) sold under five different brand names in 16-oz. containers. The products include Kaeco Equine Wormer Pellet, Manna Pro Foal & Horse Pelleted Wormer, Durvet Horse & Colt Wormer, Farnam Pellet Care P, and Sportsman's Friend Colt and Horse Wormer. This recall was initiated because the product failed stability testing and is subpotent, meaning it may not contain the effective amount of the active ingredient needed to treat worms. Consumers should stop using the affected products immediately.
The subpotent nature of the medication means it may fail to effectively treat or prevent intestinal parasites in horses and colts. This can lead to untreated worm infestations, which may cause weight loss, poor coat condition, colic, or other health complications for the animals.
