BD MaxGuard Extension Set Mislabeled With Wrong Expiration Date

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: FDA Class II recall for a medical device with risk of patient and worker infection from potential leaks if expired product is used, but no illnesses or injuries have been reported. This qualifies as a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported.
