Cell Marque Recalls H. pylori Reagent Due to Missing Export Labeling

Cell Marque is recalling five units of H. pylori reagent 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 due to a documentation and labeling issue (missing 'For Export Only' label) rather than a product defect or safety hazard, which aligns with the 'Low' severity criteria for documentation issues.

Plain-English summary

Cell Marque Corporation is recalling five units of H. pylori (polyclonal) 1.0 mL reagent, catalog number 215A-76. The product is an in vitro diagnostic reagent intended for hematology use. The specific lot affected is 1611307C, with an expiration date of 2019-03.

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

The affected units were distributed nationwide to facilities in California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Texas.
