Plain-English summary
Medline Industries Inc is recalling 1-ounce Medicine Cups used to measure liquid medication. The recall involves 903 cases and 4,090 sleeves, totaling 8,605,000 units, distributed across the Continental U.S. The affected products are identified by Lot Numbers 122211502 through 122212515.
The recall was initiated because the volume markings on the cups are incorrect. Specifically, the text "5 mL" is printed next to the increment that should read "10 mL." While the other gradations are marked correctly, the sequence is listed as 2.5 mL, 5 mL, 7.5 mL, and 5 mL. This labeling error could lead to inaccurate measurement of liquid medication.
Consumers and healthcare facilities should stop using the affected medicine cups and contact Medline Industries for instructions on how to return or dispose of the product.
