Customed OB Packs Recalled Due to Compromised Sterility and Contamination Risk

Customed, Inc. is recalling 120 OB Packs used for wound care due to compromised sterility and manufacturing deficiencies that may cause patient infection.

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 source text explicitly states that the contamination 'may result in patient infection,' which constitutes a significant injury risk. This aligns with the rubric criterion for 'significant injury/property-damage reports' or high-risk medical device defects, warranting a score of 4.
