Codan Recalls ColorSafe IV Lines Manufactured Before FDA Approval

Codan US Corporation is recalling ColorSafe IV lines because they were manufactured and marketed prior to FDA approval.

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 2/5 (Moderate).

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: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the source text does not report any injuries, illnesses, or specific physical hazards, fitting the criteria for a voluntary precautionary recall or minor regulatory issue.
