Baxter Recalls Mislabeled 5 mL Oral Dispensers Due to Packaging Errors

Baxter Healthcare is recalling 2,800 units of 5 mL oral dispensers because the individual pouches are mislabeled with the wrong product code and volume.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, and the hazard is a minor labeling error on the packaging rather than a defect in the sterile device itself, fitting the criteria for moderate severity.
