Advance Aluminum Chloride Gel kits recalled for wrong first aid insert
Some units of Inter-Med's Advance Aluminum Chloride Gel Clear Hemostatic Gel Kit (catalog 504600-28) contain the package insert for Ferric Sulfate Gel instead. The wrong insert gives incorrect first aid instructions—specifically, it tells users to induce vomiting if the gel is swallowed, when the correct instructions say not to induce vomiting.

What to do
- Check your Aluminum Chloride Gel Kit (catalog 504600-28, lot 2026-0204) to see if the package insert mentions Ferric Sulfate Gel.
- If it does, do not follow those instructions. Contact Inter-Med or your supplier for the correct insert.
- If ingestion occurs, follow poison control guidance rather than the incorrect insert instructions.
