Medical Action Industries Recalls PICC/CVC Dressing Kits Due to Misbranding
Medical Action Industries is recalling 180 PICC/CVC Secure Dressing Change kits because the presence of CHG is not identified on the exterior labeling.
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 explicitly states the issue is misbranding (unlabeled CHG) and does not report any illnesses or injuries, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity labeling error.
