Action SunMed sent initial recall letter on April 27, 2007 to all distributors requesting that kits containing the MacIntosh size 3, consisting of lots number Gj and Ha be returned to facility. Replacement information was included in letter. On December 12, 2008, the firm issued a Device Recall Press Release with additional information on the potential for the tube to break during use leaving an approximate 1 inch piece of the acrylic tube in the patients mouth and subsequently requiring medical or surgical intervention to prevent serous injury to the patient. SunMed has notified its distributors and customers by certified mail and has arranged for return and replacement of all recalled products. Consumers with question may contact their distributor of the GreenLine/D or SunMed at 1-800-433-2797.
