What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: Rubric level 3 covers risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported: the source describes a risk of surgical strikethrough and infection, and no injuries are stated.
Plain-English summary
Medline Industries, LP is recalling five Medline surgical drape products: table cover drapes MDTBTCS6070GN and MDTBTCS6090GN, underbuttock drape MDTDXUNDBGN, Mayo stand cover MDTMAYOXGN and pocket sheet MDTZ1003656GN. About 23,568 units were distributed nationwide in the United States and internationally to Panama, the United Arab Emirates, the Virgin Islands, Saudi Arabia, India, Chile and Canada.

All lots are affected, across the UDI-DIs listed in the FDA enforcement record.
