Customed Recalls Cesarean Packs Due to Potential Packaging Integrity Issues

Customed, Inc. is recalling 23 lots of EO-sterilized Cesarean Packs because packaging integrity may be compromised, potentially leading to product contamination or loss of sterility.

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 (loss of sterility/contamination) where injury has not yet been reported, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for theoretical hazards without confirmed illness.

Plain-English summary

Customed, Inc. is recalling 23 lots of EO-sterilized Cesarean Packs, which contain various surgical items such as towels, gowns, drapes, and instruments. The recall affects 804 units distributed worldwide, including the United States (nationwide, Florida, Puerto Rico, and USVI) and several international locations such as Tortola, Trinidad, Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, and Mexico.
