Customed Recalls EO Sterilized Surgical Gown Packs Due to Packaging Integrity Concerns

Customed, Inc. is recalling 20 lots of EO sterilized surgical gown packs because packaging integrity may be compromised, potentially leading to 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, which aligns with the High severity criteria.

Plain-English summary

Customed, Inc. is recalling 20 lots of EO sterilized surgical convenient packs, product code 900-2592. The recalled product consists of a Gown Cool Impervious XLGE Breathable Customed, a 24" x 24" wrapper, and 15" x 20" absorbent towels. These items are packaged into polyester/polyethylene breather bags with Tyvek double vents. The recall involves 1,656 packed units across multiple lots.

The affected products were distributed worldwide, including nationwide in the United States (specifically Florida, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands) and in the countries of Tortola, Trinidad, Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, and Mexico.
