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: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (sterile surgical packs) where injury has not yet been reported, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for potential contamination or loss of sterility.

Plain-English summary

Customed, Inc. is recalling 540 units of Arthroscopy Packs (Product Code 900-982) across 11 lots. The recall was initiated because the company determined that there is a possibility that packaging integrity may be compromised on different catalog numbers.
