On 21/11/2024, Troy Laboratories Pty Ltd (ABN: 000 283 769) initiated a voluntary recall under section 106 of the Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals Code scheduled to the Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals Code Act 1994 (Cth) in relation to the chemical product described above.
Reason for voluntary recall:
Some units of above-mentioned batches may not have a label on the bottle, although it is enclosed in a carton with all relevant product information.
Hazard:
Unlabelled vials could potentially result in product being used for unintended purposes. However, vials without labels are easy to identify immediately and due to the strict regulations surrounding use and record keeping of schedule 8 drugs, the risk of unlabelled Methadone being used is very low. If the vial is labelled, there is no risk, and the product does not need to be returned.
What to do:
Veterinary wholesalers and end users should check all stock on hand of 240257, 24050D, 24061A batches for the affected units (i.e. unlabelled vials). If any unlabelled vials are found, please isolate the product and place in quarantine. Troy (contact details included below) will provide advice on management of affected units and arrangements for replacement.
