EXP Pharmaceutical Services Recalls Unregistered Medical Device Exchange Surgical Gowns

EXP Pharmaceutical Services Corp is recalling 10 units of Medical Device Exchange Surgical Gowns because the company failed to register as a medical device establishment or establish a quality system.

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 text identifies the issue as a regulatory compliance failure (lack of registration and quality system) rather than a direct physical defect or reported injury, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity voluntary or administrative recall.
