Here is the NEWS RELEASE from TGA on the above recalled product lists:

The products shown in this list are additional to those advertised in newspapers on Tuesday 29 April 2003 and are those that have been notified to the TGA as at 2pm Wednesday 30 April 2003 as having been manufactured by Pan Pharmaceuticals Limited since 1 May 2002.

The list does NOT yet include all products to be recalled as this information is still being progressively sent to the TGA from product sponsors who have used Pan Pharmaceuticals Limited as a manufacturer in the period from 1 May 2002.

The list is organised by the AUST L* or AUST R* number followed by the product name, sponsor or supplier name, batch numbers# and expiry dates#.

Where only some batches of products are affected, the relevant batch and expiry date details are specified.

Pan Pharmaceuticals Limited manufacturing licence has been suspended for a period of 6 months, with effect from 28 April 2003, due to serious quality and safety breaches in the manufacture of therapeutic goods by that company since 1 May 2002.
