Novartis Nutrition Corporation Issues Nationwide Recall of One Lot
PR Newswire (press release), NY - Nov 16, 2005 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Novartis Nutrition Corporation is recalling 2,712 bottles of an enteral feeding formula which was incorrectly labeled as Diabetisource(R) AC
MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Novartis Nutrition Corporation is
recalling 2,712 bottles of an enteral feeding formula which was incorrectly
labeled as Diabetisource(R) AC 1.5 Liter bottles lot 2135L. The product
contained in these bottles is Resource Diabetic(R) TF a tube feeding
formulated for diabetes which contains sodium and calcium caseinate,
components of milk. People with an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk run
the risk of a serious or life threatening allergic reaction if they consume
this product. The recall is being conducted with the knowledge of the FDA.
Healthcare professionals administering to patients who have an allergy or
sensitivity to milk should immediately stop using this product. Healthcare
institutions that have received shipping cartons labeled Resource Diabetic(R)
TF lot number 2135L or bottles labeled Diabetisource(R) AC 1.5 Liter bottles
lot 2135L should contact Novartis Customer Services at 1-800-333-3785.
Consumers who have questions can contact this same 800 number.
In addition the two products are not nutritionally equivalent. The product
label for Diabetisource(R) AC indicates that the 1.5L container provides 1800
calories and 150 grams of carbohydrate. Consuming Resource Diabetic(R) TF, the
patient would receive 1590 calories and 127 grams of carbohydrate in a 1.5L
container.
The affected product was shipped nationwide and is only distributed to
healthcare institutional facilities. Affected product is not distributed to
retail outlets. The recalled bottles were shipped in cartons correctly
labelled as Resource Diabetic(R) TF lot 2135L however the bottles were
incorrectly labelled as Diabetisource AC. Lot 2135L.
Novartis Nutrition Corporation has notified its distributors requesting
that they stop sale immediately and return all product in their inventory.
Novartis Nutrition Corporation takes its mission of improving the health
and well-being of patients in healthcare delivery settings very seriously, and
therefore believe it is necessary to take this precautionary action.
The foregoing press release contains certain forward-looking statements
that can be identified by terminology such as "would receive," or similar
expressions, or by express or implied discussions regarding any potential
revenue impact from the recall and labeling issues which are the subject of
this release. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown
risks, uncertainties or other factors that may cause the actual results to be
materially different from any future results, performance, or achievements
expressed or implied by such statements. In particular, management's
expectations could be affected by, among other things, uncertainties relating
to the recall process; unexpected additional labeling or other manufacturing
difficulties with respect to Resource Diabetic(R) TF or Diabetisource(R); as
well as other risks and factors referred to in Novartis AG's current Form 20-F
on file with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. Should one or more of
these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions
prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated,
believed, estimated or expected. Novartis is providing the information in
this press release as of this date and does not undertake any obligation to
update any forward-looking statements contained in this press release as a
result of new information, future events or otherwise.
