Customed Recalls O.R. Towels Due to Sterility Compromise
Customed, Inc. is recalling 550 O.R. Towels (Catalog 900-629) because significant sterility compromises and manufacturing deficiencies may result in 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 deficiencies 'may result in patient infection' and cites 'serious deficiencies' in manufacturing and storage. This aligns with the rubric criterion for 'significant injury/property-damage reports' or high-risk contamination scenarios that warrant a Severe (4) rating, as the risk of infection is a serious health consequence.
Plain-English summary
Customed, Inc. is recalling 550 units of O.R. Towels, Catalog number 900-629. These products are used by medical staff to perform patient care procedures such as wound healing, suture removals, and wound irrigation. The affected lot numbers are 140513154, 140613796, and 140915134.
