  FDA is asking that you provide us with a list of retailers that were visited to verify that the recall was effective. We are only asking that an FDA Form 3177 be filled out IF you find that the recall was ineffective, meaning that the product is still available for further distribution/sale. We ask that if you find a location where the recall was ineffective that you notify us as soon as possible. We ask that you provide us a list of any retailers by Friday May 9, 2025, at COB.
  Please submit all documents and correspondence to recalls@doh.nj.gov.
  NJDOH is requesting any immediate action for this recall.
