Ovadine 1% Iodine Recalled for Incorrect Expiration Date

Summary

Western Chemical Inc. is recalling 92 units (1 gallon each) of Ovadine, a 1% Iodine solution used in veterinary and aquaculture settings, because the product labels display an incorrect expiration date. Using the product beyond its intended shelf life could result in reduced effectiveness of the iodine solution. Consumers should verify their inventory against the affected lot number and contact the manufacturer to arrange for a return or proper disposal.

Risk

The incorrect expiration date on the label may lead users to believe the product is viable for longer than it actually is, potentially resulting in the use of a degraded or less effective disinfectant.
