Sperm separation media kits recalled for incorrect component lot
Fujifilm is recalling sperm separation media kits because the lower layer component may not match the documented lot. The kits may contain an older component with a different shelf life, which could affect product performance.
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: This is an FDA Class II recall with no reported illnesses or injuries. The issue is a manufacturing quality control failure where an incorrect lower layer component may have been packaged. While this could affect product performance, no harm has been documented, making this a moderate-severity recall.
