Reported risk: The product was received from supplier correctly labelled as 16I15. But, on receiving at Pharmasystems warehouse, the "I" in the lot number was misread as "L" in lower case and the master shipping carton and inner storage carton were labelled as 16L15. This wrong lot number was used to enter the product into the system and on customer documents. The actual product and the immediate packaging used to sell the product to consumer were labelled correctly.
