A Wisconsin company is recalling their equine first-aid kits due to the possible contamination of sterile alcohol prep pads and iodine prep pads with an "objectionable organism" during manufacturing. In a letter sent to customers in April, Creative Pet Products asked owners of its Horse Aid kit to remove and dispose of any alcohol or iodine prep pads.

The company, which also manufactures canine and feline first-aid kits, said in the letter that they would replace any alcohol or iodine prep pads if contacted by owners.

Creative Pet Products’ recall comes following the manufacturers’ (Triad) recall of the iodine and alcohol prep pads due to Elizabethkingia meningoseptica and Bacillus cereus contamination, respectively. The use of contaminated pads could result in serious or life-threatening infections if the bacteria enters the body, the recall notice said.
