Recall notice

The LifeScan OneTouch Verio IQ was recalled on March 25, 2013, because at extremely high blood glucose levels the meter will not warn the user of a high reading and will shut off. This could potentially lead to incorrect treatment or a delay in proper treatment. Call 800-717-0276 to get a free replacement meter. Visit the recall page for more information.
