Cell Marque Recalls Adenovirus Reagents Due to Export Labeling Error

Cell Marque is recalling Adenovirus reagents because they were not properly labeled as 'For Export Only' as required by the FD&C Act.

What this means for you

Cosmetic or documentation issue. No expected health impact, but the manufacturer is correcting the affected products.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as Low severity because it involves a documentation and labeling issue (missing 'For Export Only' label) with no reported health hazards, injuries, or illnesses.

Plain-English summary

Cell Marque Corporation is recalling specific lots of Adenovirus (20/11 & 2/6) Analyte Specific Reagents. The affected products include the 0.5 mL size (Catalog # 212M-15) and the 7.0 mL size (Catalog # 212M-18). These are in vitro diagnostic reagents intended for microbiology use.

The recall was initiated because the company identified that the product, which was intended to be sold outside the United States, was not properly labeled as "For Export Only." This labeling failure violates section 801(e)(1) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.

The recall involves 12 units distributed nationwide to laboratories in California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Texas. Affected lots include 0.5 mL units with lot number 1318203P and expiry date 2018-04, and 7.0 mL units with lot numbers 1318204H 201 (expiry 8-04 11) and 1532111A (expiry 2018-10). Users should stop using these specific lots and contact Cell Marque for instructions.
