Medline CNTRL Line Removal Kit Recalled for Subpotent Iodine Content

Medline Industries is recalling CNTRL Line Removal Kit Scripps because the iodine content is below the label claim.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The agency classification is FDA Class II, and the rubric specifies that FDA Class II recalls with significant injury or property damage reports, or structural defects, are Severe. While no specific injuries are reported in the text, the subpotent nature of a medical prep product in a Class II recall aligns with the Severe tier criteria for significant potential harm or agency classification weight.
