BD syringe batch may contain Luer Slip instead of Luer Lok

Becton Dickinson is recalling one lot of 10 mL Non-Sterile BD Luer-Lok Tip Syringes because some Luer Slip syringes were incorrectly included in a batch designated for Luer Lok syringes.

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: Rubric level 2 covers low-risk, precautionary recalls: the fault is a product mix-up during packaging rather than a defect, and the source describes no hazard, illness or injury.
