Cardinal Health Recalls Gomco Style Circumcision Clamp Trays Due to Labeling Error

Cardinal Health is recalling Gomco Style Circumcision Clamp Trays because two lots were labeled as containing 1.1cm clamps but actually contained 1.3cm clamps.

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, but the source text describes a labeling error regarding clamp size without reporting any illnesses, injuries, or hospitalizations. This aligns with the rubric for minor labeling errors or low-risk issues where harm has not been reported.

Plain-English summary

Cardinal Health is recalling Gomco Style Circumcision Clamp Trays, which are instruments used to compress the foreskin of the penis during circumcision of a male infant. The recall involves two specific lots: SSI-0034 (380 units) and 10-1100 (60 units). The affected lots were distributed nationwide, including in Arkansas, Kansas, West Virginia, North Carolina, Texas, Alabama, Mississippi, and Virginia.

The reason for the recall is a labeling discrepancy. The affected trays were labeled as containing a 1.1cm circumcision clamp, but they actually contained a 1.3cm clamp. The specific lot numbers involved are 462799 and 476803 for SSI-0034, and 462788 and 485406 for 10-1100.

Healthcare providers and consumers should check their inventory for these specific lot numbers. If the product is found, it should be removed from use and returned to the supplier or Cardinal Health for further instructions. This recall is classified as Class II by the FDA, indicating a situation where use of the product could cause temporary or medically reversible health consequences.
