PRODUCT RECALL

Austere Provisions was recently notified of the recall of the "Triad Sterile Lubricating Jelly" that we include in our trauma kits and attached to the nasal airways that we sell. Due to the fact that we provide these as give-aways for courses, charity events, and product demos we are trying to get the word out as far as possible. We will replace the lubricant packet at no cost to the customer/recipient of the kit but we need to know if you still have the kit in hand. So, if you have either an IC3, LMS Comprehensive kit, or individual nasal airway that you purchased from Austere Provisions Company please email me at mike@austereprovisions.com for info on how to receive the replacement.

As of 02/13/2011 any kits or airways leaving the shop were stocked with a replacement equivalent component not effected by the recall.
