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.

Plain-English summary

Customed, Inc. is recalling 30 lots of C-Section Packs, which contain various surgical items including table covers, towels, gowns, and surgical blades. The recall involves 1,392 units distributed worldwide, including the United States (nationwide, specifically Florida, Puerto Rico, and USVI) and several international countries such as Tortola, Trinidad, Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, and Mexico.

The affected products are EO sterilized surgical convenient packs packaged into polyester/polyethylene breather bags with Tyvek double vents.
