Cardinal Health Recalls ChemoPlus Spill Kits Due to Latex Inconsistency

Cardinal Health is recalling ChemoPlus chemotherapy spill kits because the safety goggles inside contain natural rubber latex, despite the kit label stating the product is latex-free.

Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II recall involving a labeling error regarding a common allergen (latex). The rubric classifies minor labeling errors and low-risk contamination as Moderate (Score 2), as no injuries or illnesses are reported in the source text.
