McKesson Medi-Pak Laceration Trays Recalled for Incomplete Sterile Seals

Medical Action Industries is recalling 474 cases of McKesson Medi-Pak Laceration Trays because some sterile kits may have incomplete seals that could compromise sterility.

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: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (sterile medical device) where a defect (incomplete seal) could compromise sterility, but the source text does not report any specific injuries or illnesses, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for theoretical risk without reported harm.
