Medline Sheath Removal Kit Recalled for Subpotent Iodine Concentration

Medline Industries is recalling 40 cases of Sheath Removal Kits because the iodine concentration is below the labeled claim.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the hazard is a subpotent drug (lower than labeled concentration) rather than a toxic contamination or structural defect, and no injuries or illnesses are reported in the source text.
