The marketing authorization holder informed its supplied customers in a letter dated 07.09.2011 that due to individual reports of an unpleasant, moldy odor, a further batch must be recalled. This odor emanates from the primary packaging (plastic bottles) and is due to contamination with traces of 2,4,6-tribromoanisole (TBA).
TBA is a degradation product of 2,4,6-tribromophenol (TBP), which is used among other things for wood treatment, and entered the production chain via wooden pallets used to store and transport the plastic bottles.
