The recall letter is accompanied by a Response form which the customer is asked to complete and return to TOSOH as soon as possible. The Response form requires reporting of infomation concerning the amount and disposition of all product on-hand. It also includes a section for use by the distributor/customers for indicating whether or not their customers have been notified as well as the names and addressed of the distributor''s subaccounts.
