Biologic Therapies Recalls Bio-PLASTY Cannulas for Misbranding

Biologic Therapies, Inc. is recalling 58 Bio-PLASTY Cannulas because they were distributed without proper FDA clearance and classification.

The agency’s classification

FDA (Devices): Class II

Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 2/5 (Moderate).

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 identifies the issue as a regulatory misbranding failure (lack of clearance) rather than a physical defect or reported injury, fitting the criteria for moderate severity involving labeling or regulatory errors.

Plain-English summary

Biologic Therapies, Inc. is recalling 58 units of Bio-PLASTY Cannulas (Needles). The affected products include catalog numbers BPC.45, BPC.60, BPC.80, and BPC.105. These devices were distributed in the United States to the states of Massachusetts, California, Washington, New Jersey, Texas, Illinois, and Florida.

The recall was initiated because the devices are misbranded. Specifically, the manufacturer failed to properly classify the devices and obtain FDA clearance prior to their distribution. This is a regulatory compliance issue rather than a report of physical defects or patient injuries.

Consumers and healthcare providers who possess these specific catalog numbers should stop using the devices and contact Biologic Therapies, Inc. for instructions on return or disposal.
