BD MaxGuard Extension Set Mislabeled with Wrong Expiration Year

BD MaxGuard Flow Controller Extension Set labels incorrectly list 2027 expiration instead of 2025. Use of expired product could compromise device integrity and create infection risk.

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 with no reported injuries or illnesses. The hazard is theoretical—use of expired product could compromise device integrity and increase infection risk—but represents a clear risk-of-harm scenario without reported harm, meeting the rubric criterion for High severity.
