Allergan Recalls Breast Implants With Non-Standard 2D Barcodes
Allergan is recalling Natrelle Inspira silicone-filled breast implants because 2D barcodes may be unreadable by GS-1 scanners due to formatting errors.
What this means for you
Cosmetic or documentation issue. No expected health impact, but the manufacturer is correcting the affected products.
Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class III, which by definition is unlikely to cause adverse health consequences. The issue is a documentation and scanning defect rather than a direct physical hazard.
Plain-English summary
Allergan PLC is recalling specific styles and sizes of Natrelle Inspira silicone-filled breast implants. The recall is due to a defect in the 2D barcodes located on the implants and sizers.
The 2D barcodes contain group separators between fixed-length element strings in the UDI data chain that are not formatted to the GS1 standard. As a result, these barcodes may be unreadable by GS-1 configured scanners.
The affected products were distributed to various states and territories in the United States. The source text does not specify the number of affected units or report any illnesses or injuries associated with this defect.
