What the authority reported
This recall is due to having a weak seal, which may result in a breach of sterility of the contents if the seal fails. The weak seal may not be detectable by all users. Because of this failure and a breach of sterility, this can lead to an increased risk of contamination and infection and should not be added to the sterile field. Recall Start Date: March 6, 2024
What to do
Follow the instructions in the official notice — recall remedies (refund, repair, replacement, or disposal) are defined by the issuing authority and the responsible business, and they differ per recall. Do not rely on summaries, including this one.
