Customed Recalls Urology Packs Due to Potential Packaging Integrity Issues

Customed, Inc. is recalling 440 units of Urology Packs because packaging integrity may be compromised, potentially leading to product contamination or loss of sterility.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The source text explicitly states the agency classification is Class I. Per the rubric, if the agency's own classification is FDA Class I, the score must never go below 4. The potential for loss of sterility and patient injury supports a Severe rating.
