Why these products were recalled

Hospira has become aware of customers using the incorrect size Receptal liners with their Receptal canisters, e.g., 1.5 L liner, 2L liner or 3L liner with a 1L canister. It is possible that if an incorrectly sized liner is used with a different size canister the lid may not fit and the vacuum/suction will not be sufficient and/or consistent.

The agency’s own wording, quoted from the enforcement report.
