Randox Liquid Cardiac Control CQ5053 Recalled for Shelf-Life Labeling Error
Randox is recalling 450 kits of Liquid Cardiac Control CQ5053 because the product does not meet its shelf-life claim, potentially causing test results to fall outside control ranges.
What this means for you
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: This is a voluntary precautionary recall for a labeling/shelf-life discrepancy in a quality control product. There are no reported injuries or illnesses, and the hazard is limited to potential test result variability, fitting the 'Moderate' criteria for minor labeling errors or low-risk issues.
Plain-English summary
Randox Laboratories, Limited is recalling 450 kits of Liquid Cardiac Control CQ5053, lot 4069CK. The product was distributed nationally. The recall was initiated because the Troponin T and Troponin I components in the quality control material do not meet the shelf-life claim stated on the product labeling.
Because the control material may now fall outside the provided control ranges, the product is being removed from the field. This issue affects the reliability of the quality control results rather than posing a direct physical hazard to patients or users.
