Vygon Recalls 210 CT PICC Kits Packaged with Incorrect Needles
Vygon Corporation is recalling 210 units of 6F Triple Lumen CT PICC kits because they were packaged with non-safety needles instead of the safety needles indicated on the label.
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 involves a packaging/labeling discrepancy where a non-safety needle was used instead of a safety needle. No injuries or illnesses are reported in the source text, and the hazard is primarily related to the lack of a safety feature rather than a direct contamination or structural failure.
