Why Was This Recalled?

According to firm ( Bausch & Lomb, Inc. ) on June 17, 2016 a packaging operator notified his supervisor he had not placed the operating instruction into the last repackaging of SKU 0816 C (Pterygium Burr Medium Diamond). Further investigation found that repackaged Algerbrush-II and its accessories from April 30, 2012 to present, contained out of date operating instruction.
