Plain-English summary

Medtech Products, Inc. is recalling Monistat 1 Simple Cure (Miconazole Nitrate) vaginal inserts. The recall involves 4,175 cases (50,100 ovules) and 6 cases (72 ovules) distributed as company samples. The affected product is identified by Lot # R18193 with an expiration date of 10/2016.
