Lighthouse For The Blind Recalls First Aid Kits Due to Sterility Labeling Error

Lighthouse For The Blind is recalling 1,034 First Aid Kits because the iodine ampule labels incorrectly imply the entire package is sterile, when only the applicator is sterile.

What this means for you

Cosmetic or documentation issue. No expected health impact, but the manufacturer is correcting the affected products.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class III, which indicates the product is not likely to cause adverse health consequences. The issue is a labeling error regarding sterility claims rather than a contamination or functional defect.

Plain-English summary

Lighthouse For The Blind is recalling 1,034 First Aid Kits (Kit Number: 2114002-100) due to a labeling error on the included iodine 10% Ampule. The labels state that the contents of the package are sterile, but they fail to clarify that this sterility claim applies only to the applicator, not the antiseptic solution.

The antiseptic solution is a cutaneous disinfectant and is not sterile. The recall covers kits shipped between January 12, 2010, and March 4, 2013. These kits were distributed nationwide, including DC and the states of AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CO, DE, FL, GA, ID, IL, IN, KS, KY, MI, MD, MN, MO, MT, NC, NJ, NM, NY, NV, OH, OK, PA, SC, TN, TX, UT, VA, WA, and WY.

Consumers should stop using the affected kits and contact Lighthouse For The Blind for instructions on how to return the product or obtain a replacement.
