Customed Liposuction Pack Recalled for Sterility and Contamination Risks

Customed, Inc. is recalling 20 Liposuction Packs due to compromised sterility and manufacturing deficiencies that may lead to 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 conditions 'may result in patient infection,' which aligns with the rubric criterion for 'significant injury/property-damage reports' or high-risk contamination scenarios warranting a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

Customed, Inc. is recalling 20 units of the Liposuction Pack, catalog #900-2656, lot number 140814938. These products are used by medical staff for patient care procedures such as wound healing, suture removals, and wound irrigation.

The recall is due to significant compromised sterility, which is not limited to potentially damaged packaging. Serious deficiencies in manufacturing processes and uncontrolled, inadequate storage conditions increase the risk of contamination, potentially resulting in patient infection.

The affected products were distributed in the United States to Florida, New York, and Puerto Rico. Medical facilities and consumers who have these specific products should stop using them and contact the recalling firm for instructions on return or disposal.
