Boston Scientific Recalls Spinal Cord Stimulation Extension Kits Due to Labeling Error

Boston Scientific is voluntarily removing 19 units of 35 cm 8 Contact Extension Kits because the 'use by date' on the label is later than the correct date.

What this means for you

Cosmetic or documentation issue. No expected health impact, but the manufacturer is correcting the affected products.

Our severity reasoning: The source explicitly states that no adverse health consequence is expected to occur, and the issue is limited to a documentation/labeling error, which aligns with the 'Low' severity criteria for packaging or documentation issues.
