What the authority reported
The reason for the recall is due to the potential of the tip protector to fall off. The sharp tip of the scissors could compromise the sterile barrier system by puncturing large and/or small holes that may not be visible to the user. Recall start date: May 14, 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.
