The second batch of new labels was inspected and attached to the new outer envelope to create a properly labeled outer envelope prior to shipping.
The firm requested that once the distributor replaced the product and the IFU into the newly labeled envelopes that they provide documentation that the product had been repackaged into the new envelopes. The distributor was also requested to verify that they did not ship any product to customers with the incorrect label. The firm had the distributor return the 49 improperly with the incorrect labels and the first set of "corrected" labels to them for destruction.
