I got an email yesterday from Bayer telling me to throw out the Triad alcohol prep pads in each Betaseron individual injection kit I have due to potential microbial contamination. I bought alcohol and cotton balls today to use instead of the pads. The pharmacist there knows me and when I asked about it she said she got a certified letter and knew nothing more than I did.
I thought alcohol killed bacteria. The pads are packaged sealed in a kit together with all parts to be put together for the injection. Is this a kinda sorta recall? Wouldn't it make sense all kits should be recalled if they were really concerned?
