Dover Foley catheters recalled due to defective supplied components

Cardinal Health Dover Foley catheters (7,800 units distributed in the US, EMEA, Japan, and Latin America) are being recalled because convenience kits were manufactured with components previously recalled by Nurse Assist.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: FDA Class I classification requires a minimum severity score of 4. Though the source does not specify the nature of the component defect or report confirmed incidents, the Class I designation indicates potential for serious injury.
