Plain-English summary

Customed, Inc. is recalling Extremity Packs, catalog code 900-2615, due to a potential compromise in packaging integrity. The recalled product is an EO sterilized surgical convenient pack packaged in a polyester/polyethylene breather bag with Tyvek double vents. The pack contains various surgical items, including lap sponges, elastic bandages, surgical blades, drapes, gowns, and other medical supplies.
