CGMP Deviations: Customer complaint for the presence of a staple co-mingled with capsules within the bottle.

People who own or use the recalled omeprazole capsules, especially those who have received the product from Cardinal Health in the U.S. The risk is low as the staple is unlikely to be ingested.
