  • Acción
    The firm is requesting that consignees immediately inspect inventory, and quarantine all units having the aforementioned lots. These units must be returned to CTI. CTI will provide UPS shipping labels for returning the units and will provide replacements or credit for the returned units. Should the inventory consist of only the affected lots then, until the consignee receives replacement BB14s from an unaffected lot, the firm recommends using the BB14 from the affected lots only if, prior to its use, they pull on the pigtail of the Better-Bladder to test its bond integrity prior to its use. If the pigtail dislodges then return the unit for credit or replacement. The consignees should complete and return the enclosed response form via email to ytamari@cirtec.com as soon as possible.
