Injecting animals with the particulate matter may result in local irritation, swelling or infection and may travel to the lungs, which could result in local tissue damage.
Customers who have received Banamine and Banamine-S from the recalled batches should stop using the products and refer to their recall letter for product return instructions.
Consumers with questions regarding this recall should call 1-800-521-5767.
