Cardinal Health Recalls Kendall Blue XXL Gowns Due to Defects

Cardinal Health is recalling Kendall Blue XXL gowns due to potential rips, holes, or foreign material that may compromise barrier protection.

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, and the defects (rips, holes, foreign material) represent a potential failure of barrier protection without reported injuries or illnesses, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity precautionary recall.

Plain-English summary

Cardinal Health 200, LLC is recalling approximately 29,810,665 units of Kendall Blue XXL gowns (SKU CT5102). These gowns are intended to provide minimal barrier protection to protect health care patients and health care personnel from the transfer of microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate material where minimal fluid settings are expected.

The recall was initiated because there is a potential for rips, holes, tears, incomplete and/or open seams, staining, foreign material, or debris on the gowns. These defects may compromise the integrity of the barrier protection.

The affected products were distributed globally, including nationwide in the United States and in several international countries. All lot numbers from 1901XXK to 2010XXK are included in this recall. Health care facilities and consumers should stop using these gowns and contact Cardinal Health for instructions on return or replacement.
