Cardinal Health Recalls Presource PBDS Kits Due to Gatorade Pouch Seal Defect
Cardinal Health is recalling 8,928 Presource PBDS kits because a defect in the Gatorade pouch seal caused the pouch to leak within the kit.
The agency’s classification
FDA (Devices): Class II
Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.
This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 2/5 (Moderate).
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: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, and the hazard involves a leaking pouch in a pre-surgical kit. This aligns with the rubric for moderate severity, as it is a defect that could compromise the kit's integrity but does not involve high-risk pathogens or reported serious injuries.
