Becton Dickinson & Co. recalled 8 products on 2013-07-31

Products: 8
Announced: 2013-07-31
Critical: 0
Units: 1,744

Why these products were recalled

Microbiological identification media may exhibit reduced levels of Vancomycin.

The agency’s own wording, quoted from the enforcement report.

The unit total adds up the quantities the agency stated for each product. Where a product record gave no figure, or gave a weight rather than a count, it contributes nothing — so the real total is at least this, never less.
