On 12/12/2024, SUMITOMO CHEMICAL AUSTRALIA PTY. LIMITED (ABN: 081 096 255) initiated a voluntary recall under section 106 of the Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals Code scheduled to the Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals Code Act 1994 (Cth) in relation to the chemical product described above.
Reason for voluntary recall:
This voluntary recall is being conducted due to two-phase separation caused by viscosity change during product storage. The issue causes handling difficulties as the product cannot be decanted from the packaging.
Hazard:
Sediment being very dense prohibits decanting and reduces the usability of the product. Two-phase separation may affect the efficacy of the product. In the case where the product is decanted, exposure to the sediment may pose a risk to human health.
What to do:
DO NOT use the product from batch numbers 56126/1 and 54910/2. Contact your wholesaler / retailer to arrange return and credit for the product from the affected batch. Wholesalers / retailers should immediately quarantine all the stock on hand of the recalled product and contact SUMITOMO CHEMICAL AUSTRALIA PTY. LIMITED to arrange return and credit for the affected units.
