Cell culture medium recalled for improper storage temperature conditions
Oxford Immunotec is recalling 6 units of AIM-V Medium (Lot 100380) distributed in seven U.S. states due to equipment failure causing storage outside the validated 2-8°C temperature range for longer than the validated duration.
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: FDA Class II recall with no reported illnesses or injuries. The hazard is potential product degradation due to storage conditions outside validated parameters, which is theoretical and precautionary rather than an immediate safety threat. This fits the rubric criterion for voluntary precautionary recalls with low-risk contamination.
