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 Class II recall with no reported illnesses or injuries. The hazard—inadequate seam barriers in ultrasound probe covers—presents a theoretical risk of patient exposure to contamination during diagnostic procedures.
