Cell Marque Recalls Her2/Neu Reagents for Missing Export Labeling

Cell Marque is recalling Her2/Neu (EP3) 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 for a documentation and labeling issue (missing 'For Export Only' label) with no reported injuries, illnesses, or product defects, fitting the criteria for a Low severity recall.

Plain-English summary

Cell Marque Corporation is recalling specific lots of Her2/Neu (EP3) reagents intended for in vitro diagnostic use. The recall was initiated after the company identified that the product was not properly labeled as "For Export Only," which is required by section 801(e)(1) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.

The affected products include 0.5 mL, 1.0 mL, and 7.0 mL vials with catalog numbers 237R-25, 237R-26, and 237R-28, respectively. The recall covers 10 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.

Healthcare facilities and laboratories that have received these specific lots should stop using the product and contact Cell Marque Corporation for instructions on return or disposal. This recall addresses a regulatory labeling deficiency rather than a product safety defect or contamination issue.
