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 deficiencies 'may result in patient infection,' which aligns with the rubric criterion for 'significant injury' reports or risks associated with FDA Class I recalls.

Plain-English summary

Customed, Inc. is recalling 48 units of Laparoscopy Packs, catalog number 900-484. These medical supplies are used by staff to perform patient care procedures such as wound healing, suture removals, and wound irrigation. The recall involves lot numbers 140613763 and 140714289.

The recall was initiated because of significant compromised sterility, which is not limited to potentially damaged packaging. Serious deficiencies in manufacturing processes and uncontrolled, inadequate storage conditions have increased the risk of contamination. These conditions may result in patient infection.

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