Vygon MFG, Inc., doing business as Churchill Medical Systems, Inc., is conducting a voluntary recall of 156 units of 19Ga x 1 Huber Needle Sets (Product Code: MBS-1910, Lot Number: 1706049D). The recall was initiated after the Tyvek supplier notified Vygon of issues with their product, specifically that the Tyvek may not be coated completely, causing gaps in the adhesive used to seal the product packaging.

Consumers and healthcare facilities should stop using the affected products and contact the recalling firm for further instructions or a replacement.
