Cell Marque Recalls Herpes Simplex Virus II Reagents for Labeling Errors
Cell Marque is recalling specific lots of Herpes Simplex Virus II reagents because they were not properly labeled as 'For Export Only' as required by federal law.
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' text) with no reported health hazards, injuries, or illnesses.
Plain-English summary
Cell Marque Corporation is recalling two specific lots of Herpes Simplex Virus II Analyte Specific Reagents intended for in vitro diagnostic use. The affected products are the 0.5 ml version (catalog number 362A-15, lot 1512811A) and the 7.0 mL version (catalog number 362A-18, lot 1512810E), both with an expiry date of April 2018.
The recall was initiated because the company identified that the products were intended to be sold outside the United States but were not properly labeled as "For Export Only." This labeling failure violates section 801(e)(1) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic 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. Consumers and healthcare facilities should check their inventory for these specific lot numbers and stop using the products if found.
