Johnson & Johnson Recalls COACH Self-Adhering Sports Wraps for Latex Labeling Error
Johnson & Johnson is recalling COACH Self-Adhering Sports Wraps because the label incorrectly states they are not made with natural rubber latex, though latex was used in early manufacturing.
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 involves a labeling error regarding natural rubber latex. Per the rubric, minor labeling errors and voluntary precautionary recalls fall under the Moderate severity category.
Plain-English summary
Johnson & Johnson Consumer Inc. is initiating a voluntary, Class II recall at the retail level in the U.S. of select COACH Self-Adhering Sports Wraps, BAND-AID Brand First Aid Products SECURE-FLEX Wraps, and BAND-AID Brand First Aid Products HURT-FREE Wraps. The recall is limited to the 3-inch size.
The recall is being conducted because the current product labeling claims the items are "not made with natural rubber latex." However, the manufacturer recently became aware that natural latex was used as a base ingredient in the early-stage manufacturing process, which reduces the allergic protein found in natural latex. The labeling needs to be updated to reflect this information.
The affected products were distributed nationally. Consumers should check their inventory for the specific products and lot codes listed in the official recall notice. If the products match the description and codes, consumers should stop using them and follow the instructions provided by the recalling firm for returns or refunds.
