MIC-KEY Gastric-Jejunal Feeding Tube Kits Recalled for Incomplete Safety Information

Avanos Medical is recalling MIC-KEY Gastric-Jejunal Feeding Tube Kits because the Instructions for Use were missing required risk information about potential complications. No illnesses have been reported.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: FDA Class II recall for missing safety information in product instructions. No illnesses or injuries reported, and the hazard is a documentation gap rather than a product defect or confirmed safety issue.
