Abbott HbA1c Hemoglobin Afinion Test Kit Cold Chain Failure
Abbott HbA1c Hemoglobin Afinion test kits are being recalled due to transit delays caused by severe thunderstorms that may have exposed products to storage temperatures outside the manufacturer's recommended range, potentially causing incorrect or delayed test results.
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 II recall. The source text explicitly states only the theoretical risk of incorrect or delayed results with no reported illnesses or injuries, making it a precautionary action consistent with the Moderate severity level.
Plain-English summary

The recalled product was distributed nationwide to facilities in Alabama, Arkansas, Illinois, Kansas, Montana, North Carolina, New Jersey, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, and West Virginia.
