- Affected lot / code info
- McKesson Medical-Surgical (MMS) is not able to identify the particular lot number received by a particular consignee for the recalled prescription products. Each letter includes the date it was distributed to customers and the dates that impacted product may have been shipped to the customer. The letters clearly explain that consignees should identify product received from MMS between June 1 and September 30, 2021. A consignee should be able to use its own records to determine whether it received an impacted product from MMS during that timeframe and whether it still has any of that product in inventory. The recall notification letter informs consignees that they may contact Sedgwick if they have any questions.
