What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

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: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (potential microorganism transfer to patient wounds) where no specific injuries or illnesses have been reported in the source text, fitting the High severity criteria.

Plain-English summary

Centurion Medical Products Corporation is recalling 483 convenience kits distributed in Kansas, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Montana, and South Dakota. These kits contain Medtronic/Covidien Light Gloves that are subject to a separate recall by Medtronic.
