Re: Kirkman had some recalls!!

[Guest guest]

Here is the Kirkman's letter:

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 supplier are actually not required to test for antimony levels

routinely, so this problem did not come to our attention until a physician

using

Kirkman products brought the issue to our attention. We immediately had our

laboratory research the issue which they quickly isolated and linked it to a

specific raw material.
