Cook Inc. Recalls Movable Core Wire Guide Due to Labeling Error

Cook Inc. is recalling 21,913 Movable Core Wire Guides because the labels failed to state that the products are 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, but the source text identifies the issue as a labeling omission regarding heparin coating without reporting any illnesses or injuries, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity labeling error.
