MEDLINE 5ML Non-Sterile Syringes Recalled for Unapproved Configurations

MEDLINE non-sterile syringes (Model 91859) are being recalled because their sizes and configurations exceed the scope of the manufacturer's FDA 510(k) clearance. No illnesses or injuries have been reported.

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: This is a Class II FDA recall with no reported illnesses or injuries. The device is recalled for regulatory non-compliance—piston syringe sizes and configurations exceed the firm's 510(k) clearance scope—rather than for an explicitly identified safety defect. Per the rubric, no reported illness with a theoretical hazard warrants Moderate severity.
