ASO, LLC is recalling Discount Drug Mart wound closure adhesive tape strips because the company cannot confirm the product is sterile.
The agency’s classification
FDA (Devices): Class II
Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.
This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).
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: The recall involves a sterile medical device where sterility cannot be confirmed, creating a risk of infection (high-risk pathogen exposure) without reported illnesses, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
