Initial inventory checks

Within 24 hours of receiving a notification of a recall notice from a manufacturer or supplier, CanadaDrugs.com will:

• 
  
• check if current inventory is affected by the recall;
  
• check purchase orders from the last 3 months or within the time frame noted on the recall notice to determine if CanadaDrugs.com previously had product that has now been recalled; and
  
• check outstanding purchase orders in transit to confirm that the lot numbers and expiry dates are for non-recalled product only.
  

In the event that CanadaDrugs.com has any recalled product, it shall immediately remove the recalled product from inventory, place it in a designated and clearly marked "quarantine" area and will thereafter make arrangements to return the recalled product to the manufacturer or supplier.
