Medical examination gloves recalled for skin irritation and disintegration

SVS LLC is recalling 155,540 boxes of non-sterile nitrile examination gloves due to reported skin irritation, glove disintegration with certain cleaning solutions, and size mislabeling. Gloves were distributed nationwide across eight U.S. states.

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 reported skin irritation and functional defects (disintegration). While injury has been reported, it is not serious enough to qualify for Severe (which requires hospitalization or significant injury reports), but actual injury complaints elevate this above Moderate severity.

Plain-English summary

SVS LLC is recalling approximately 155,540 boxes of non-sterile, single-use, powder-free nitrile examination gloves (available in sizes XS through XL). The gloves are intended for medical professionals to wear during patient examinations to prevent contamination between patient and examiner.

The recalled gloves were distributed nationwide in Michigan, Nebraska, Florida, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Arkansas, Colorado, and New York. Additional details including specific lot numbers and item codes are available from the FDA.
