Letter to Teleflex CEO, Benson Smith - Take Immediate Action to Ensure Its Equipment Functions Properly

Letter

Date: Jan. 5, 2017
Location: Washington, DC

Dear Mr. Smith:

I write to express my concern following reports that the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office in my state has repeatedly received defective Narcan applicators supplied by Teleflex Medical. This is a serious issue with potentially life-threatening consequences.

Law enforcement officers are working hard to combat the devastating opioid abuse epidemic in my state and around the country. It is essential that they are equipped with the tools needed to do their jobs, and that they can rely on those tools to work in an emergency.

For that reason, I ask that Teleflex take immediate action to ensure that its equipment functions properly and defective shipments are replaced, which is crucial to the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office and other law enforcement agencies in their efforts to respond to overdoses and save lives.

Thank you for your attention to this important matter. I look forward to hearing from you about the steps your company plans to take to address this issue.

Sincerely,
