McKesson Absorbent Dressings Recalled Due to Temperature Storage Excursions

McKesson absorbent dressings manufactured by Derma Sciences are being recalled due to temperature excursions during storage from June to August 2021. The FDA states the affected dressings are not likely to cause adverse health consequences.

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 an FDA Class III product with no reported illnesses or injuries. The source explicitly states the device is 'not likely to cause adverse health consequences' from the temperature deviation, making this a precautionary recall with theoretical hazard.

Plain-English summary

McKesson brand absorbent dressings, including packing strips, MediHoney dressings, DuPad pads, and Shur-Conform oil emulsion dressings manufactured by Derma Sciences Inc., are being recalled nationwide.

The recall is due to temperature excursions that occurred between June and August 2021 prior to product delivery. Facility temperatures exceeded normal storage parameters, which may have affected product effectiveness. The FDA has determined that this specific temperature deviation is not likely to cause adverse health consequences.

All product lots received between June 1, 2021, and September 30, 2021, are affected. These dressings were distributed nationwide throughout the United States.
