  • Action
    The firm initiated phone calls on 5/22/08 and explained the reason for recall and requested the product be quarantined. The customer was informed they would receive a recall letter providing instructions for return, replacement, or credit. During the phone call, some of the customers asked if they should recall to the end user level and they were told to do so, but this instruction was not verbally given to everyone. The recalling firm issued a letter dated 5/23/08 via overnight mail which explained the reason for recall and requested return of the product. The letter requests the customer to notify the end users. A Return Form was enclosed to report the amount of product being returned. The firm telephoned all nonresponders on 7/1-2/08 to assure they received the recall notification. On 7/21/08, the firm issued two different letters flagged as "Expanded Recall Notification" dated 7/21/08. One of the letters covered Product/Part numbers 811909, 812144, and 821972, which were all HACH brands. The other letter covered Product/Part number 812004, which was a private brand. Reason for recall expansion was explained and return of product was requested. If the product was further distributed, subrecall was requested to the end user level. A "Return Form" was enclosed to be completed to indicate the amount of product being returned. Some customers who tried to order product #811909 received a letter dated 7/28/08 informing them they could use their Total Chlorine DPD Test Kit, product #811902, as an alternative method for testing.
