Stimuplex A Injection Needles Recalled for DEHP Mislabeling
B Braun Medical Inc is recalling Stimuplex A injection needles because the devices are labeled as DEHP-free, but the glue used contains traces of DEHP. The recall affects 20,850 units distributed in the US and Canada.
What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: FDA classified this as a Class II recall. The devices are labeled as DEHP-free but contain traces of DEHP in the glue, creating a mislabeling issue. DEHP is a chemical of concern in medical devices, making this a risk-of-harm product where composition discrepancy may affect vulnerable users.
Plain-English summary
B Braun Medical Inc is recalling Stimuplex A injection needles (Catalogue Number 4894251) in the following lot numbers: 20E15, 19L09, 19L27, 20A19, 20H21, 21G14, 21I16, and 22H23. The affected devices are 30-degree bevel, 24-gauge needles 1 inch in length.
The devices are labeled as "not made with DEHP" or display a DEHP-free symbol. However, the glue used in the devices contains traces of DEHP (di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate). This labeling discrepancy means the products do not match their stated composition.
The recall affects 20,850 units distributed throughout the United States and Canada. Healthcare providers and facilities should identify and quarantine any remaining inventory of these specific lots.
