The distributor has informed its supplied customers in a letter dated March 5, 2014, that ten batches were identified during investigations that showed an increased risk of out-of-specification (OOS) values for the parameter "polymers, aggregates and fragments" before expiry of shelf life. Only one batch (batch C1274, not marketed in Austria) showed out-of-specification values, nevertheless all batches involved in the investigations are being recalled as a precautionary measure.
