The batch numbers on the blisters within the cartons are clear and present. Additionally, the expiry date is still visible and clearly marked on the carton and blister.
The impacted products are within specification and there is no issue with product quality. Therefore, the affected batches are not being recalled. Healthcare professionals should check the blisters before dispensing the affected batch to ensure the batch number can be read. In the event of a future recall or medical enquiry, the batch number on the blister should be referred to if the number on the carton cannot be read.
