Baxter Syringe Tip Caps Recalled Due to Sterile Packaging Barrier Failure
Baxter Healthcare is recalling DISCPAC Syringe Tip Caps due to potential packaging defects that may not maintain sterile barriers. The recall affects approximately 63,190 units distributed worldwide.
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: This is a Class II recall with no reported illnesses or injuries. The hazard is described as potential and theoretical (packaging may not maintain sterile barrier), and the recall is precautionary in nature. Per the rubric, when a hazard is theoretical with no reported incidents, the score is at most 3; this case fits the criteria for a precautionary recall at Score 2.
