Baxter Recalls Prismaflex Control Units Lacking FDA Clearance
Baxter Healthcare is recalling five Prismaflex Control Units distributed to Puerto Rico and Guam because they lack FDA regulatory clearance.
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: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the source explicitly states no illnesses or injuries were reported and the hazard is regulatory (lack of clearance) rather than a physical defect causing harm, fitting the 'voluntary precautionary' or 'minor' criteria for a score of 2.
