Centurion Diagnostic Imaging Tray Recalled for Human Hair Particulate

Centurion Medical Products is recalling 760 Diagnostic Imaging Trays due to a confirmed report of human hair embedded in a stopper.

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, but the source text does not report any injuries, illnesses, or hospitalizations. The hazard is a foreign object (human hair) in a single unit, which fits the criteria for a moderate risk without reported harm.
