B. Braun Northside anesthesia trays contain Mastisol with cracking tubing
B. Braun CESK Northside Anesthesia Trays are being recalled because they contain Mastisol Liquid Adhesive whose butyrate tubing may crack, rendering it unusable.
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: FDA Class II recall where the described consequence is that the component becomes unusable rather than any patient hazard, which fits the Moderate band.
Plain-English summary

Braun was notified by its supplier, Ferndale Laboratories, Inc., the manufacturer of Mastisol Liquid Adhesive, that Ferndale has issued a voluntary recall due to potential cracking of the butyrate tubing (outside tube), which renders the product unusable.
