Plain-English summary

PSC Industries Inc is recalling Button Switchpens with Extendable Needle Electrode 10 mm Exposure, Model Number 75800. The recall involves 725 units, specifically 125 units from Lot #023392 and 600 units from Lot #022438. These single-use electrosurgical devices are packaged in sterile Tyvek peel pouches within cardboard boxes.

The recall was initiated due to labeling errors. The Tyvek pouch labels for the device state 'with holster,' but the product does not actually include a holster. Firm officials met with the FDA on May 17, 2012, to report these various labeling errors.

The affected devices were distributed nationwide, including the District of Columbia and the states of California, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Montana, Texas, Utah, and Wisconsin.
