Company Announcement

Endo, Inc. (OTCQX: NDOI) has declared an expansion of its previous voluntary recall involving Clonazepam Orally Disintegrating Tablets, USP (C-IV). This action is prompted by potential mislabeling of product cartons indicating improper strength.

Endo’s investigation reveals that certain lots of Clonazepam may include cartons that are incorrectly labeled regarding their strength and National Drug Code (NDC), due to a misstep by a third-party packager. However, the inner blister strips and tablets correctly display the strength for each lot.

The following table presents the newly included product lots in the voluntary recall along with their product description and NDC numbers.
