Cardinal Health Recalls ChemoPlus Spill Kits Due to Latex Mismatch

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 hazard involves a labeling error regarding a common allergen (latex) without reported illnesses, fitting the Moderate severity criteria for minor labeling errors or low-risk contamination.

Cardinal Health 200, LLC is recalling 11,588 units of ChemoPlus Chemo Spill Kits (Product Code: CT4004).
