Class II U.S. Food and Drug Administration

KOB GmbH Medline Unna-Z Stretch Zinc Paste Bandage recall: Due to labeling error. Incomplete ingredients listed. Labeling did

Recall published 7 months ago

Due to labeling error. Incomplete ingredients listed. Labeling did not include castor oil or calamine.

The hazard: Mislabelling or misbranding

Misbranding prompted this recall. The agency treats a label that misstates the contents as seriously as it treats contamination, because people act on labels.

What the notice says: Due to labeling error. Incomplete ingredients listed. Labeling did not include castor oil or calamine.

Why it matters: The product carries the wrong label, the wrong lid or the wrong packaging. The food inside is generally fine; the problem is that the package describes something else, which defeats anyone relying on it.

Symptoms and when to call a doctor

There is no illness associated with mislabelling itself. The exception is where the undeclared contents include an allergen, in which case treat it as an allergen recall and watch for the reaction that person normally has.

This page is general information, not medical advice. If you feel unwell, a clinician who can see you is the only person able to judge your case.

What to do about Mislabelled

KOB GmbH — Misbranding prompted this recall. The agency treats a label that misstates the contents as seriously as it treats contamination, because people act on labels.

  1. Read the official notice to see what is actually inside the pack, then decide whether anyone in your home needs to avoid it.
  2. Keep a photo of the mismatched label, which makes the refund conversation much shorter.
  3. Check the lot code on your pack — these mix-ups are usually confined to a short production window.
  4. If the undeclared contents include an allergen, treat it as an allergen recall and stop serving it to anyone affected.

Refunds, and what else you can claim

The purchase price is the floor, not the ceiling. Where a recall caused you a real cost, say so.

  • Claim the refund at the store first; it is the fastest route and needs the least paperwork.
  • If you bought several packs over time, list them. Firms routinely settle for more than a single unit when a customer asks.
  • Medical costs, lost earnings or a spoiled event are not handled at the service desk. Write to the company contact on this page instead, with dates and documents.
  • Keep copies of everything you send. If a recall caused harm, that file is what any later claim rests on.
