Syngenta has announced that stocks of Primo Maxx II currently on the market are out of specification from the approved manufacturing label formulation. The company has issued a full product recall and replace notification, to be operated by ICL

Anyone with existing stocks of Primo Maxx II must cease any further use or transport of the product with immediate effect. Bottles must be relabelled as ‘flammable material’ and stored accordingly, to await collection and removal by the scheme’s registered waste contractor.

A dedicated ICL website has been created to register all unused Primo Maxx II into the recall and replace scheme, including any full or part-used bottles. All product reported into the scheme will replaced with new compliant stocks of Primo Maxx II.

In all trials and user experience the efficacy of the product has been to the high level expected and with no turf safety concerns identified. No other Syngenta products are affected by this issue.
