Reason/Issue |
The manufacturer have identified that the boxes used to ship the products were too small for the number of products (10 units) packaged within the box. The units packed into the shipper experienced bending and folding of the pouches. This can increase the risk of breaching the outer pouch. Note that only a breach in the exterior pouch was detected – the interior pouch was not breached. A breach would have to develop in both pouches before the product would become unsterile. |
