Cook Inc. Recalls Disposable Reuter Tip Deflecting Wire Guides for Labeling Error
Cook Inc. is recalling 18,398 units of Disposable Reuter Tip Deflecting Wire Guides because the labels fail to state that the product is heparin-coated.
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, which typically indicates a temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequence. The hazard is a labeling error regarding heparin coating, which is a moderate risk factor but does not meet the criteria for Severe or Critical severity as no injuries or deaths are reported.
