December 30, 2009Dear Kirkman Customer and Distributor:It has come to Kirkman’s attention, that a raw material supplier has been supplying Kirkman with substandard quality material that is higher in antimony content than what would be considered acceptable to the special needs community. Raw material suppliers are actually not required to test for antimony levels routinely, so Kirkman was not aware of this problem until physicians using Kirkman products brought the issue to our attention as a result of their metal testing. We immediately had our laboratory research the issue which they quickly isolated and linked to two specific lots of stevia leaf extract. We have stopped using this material and have located and purchased a quality replacement which we will begin using immediately.We are asking that if you have any of the following products which utilized this material in your inventory, that you destroy the products and request

credit or replacement with new lots when they become available. Call Kirkman customer service to make these requests. The products involved include all lots of the following products: 1. Zinc Liquid Product # 387/8 and 387/16 2. Super Nu-Thera w/o A and D Product # 447/4543. DMAE 50 mg. Chewable Product # 489/904. Super Nu-Thera Powder Orange Product # 410/4545. B Complex Powder Pro Support Product #399/7 6. TMG w/Folinic and B-12 Powder Product #413/4 and 413/87. Chewable Vitamin C Tablets Product #389/100 and 389/2508. Trial sizes of the above seven productsKirkman regrets the inconvenience associated with this issue, but Kirkman will not compromise our quality standards that we have stood for throughout our existence.
