Manufacturer's announcement on FDA website
ALERT: We are concerned about the accuracy of the information currently provided on the FDA site. The original announcement on the FDA site listed 11 products, which are listed below. A correction was issued on July 15 indicating corrections to 6 products with additional lots being withdrawn. This correction specifically said “No corrections are required for the other products and lots sold at Wal-Mart as identified in the 07.03.19 Notice of Recall.” However, the FDA listing now has only the 6 CORRECTED line items. We are reaching out to Altaire and the FDA for a clarification.
