Sec.  7.55  Termination of a recall.

    (a) A recall will be terminated when the Food and Drug

and when it is reasonable to assume that the product subject to the 
recall has been removed and proper disposition or correction has been 
made commensurate with the degree of hazard of the recalled product. 
Written notification that a recall is terminated will be issued by the 
appropriate Food and Drug Administration district office to the 
recalling firm.
    (b) A recalling firm may request termination of its recall by 
submitting a written request to the appropriate Food and Drug 
Adminstration district office stating that the recall is effective in 
accordance with the criteria set forth in paragraph (a) of this section,
