distributors and customers by a letter sent certified mail directly and through this press release of this voluntary recall. Cox Veterinary Laboratory will arrange for a return of all recalled product. Consumers and distributors that have unused Gastroade Xtra should stop using this product immediately and contact Cox Veterinary Laboratory to arrange for the return of the product.
