Customed Recalls EO Sterilized Surgical Packs Due to Packaging Integrity Concerns

Customed, Inc. is recalling EO sterilized surgical packs because packaging integrity may be compromised, potentially leading to product contamination or 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 (sterile surgical packs) where injury has not yet been reported, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for potential contamination or loss of sterility.

Plain-English summary

Customed, Inc. is recalling specific lots of EO sterilized surgical convenient packs, identified by code 900-2582. The recalled items include various surgical supplies such as gowns, table covers, drapesheets, towels, and surgical blades packaged in polyester/polyethylene breather bags with Tyvek double vents.

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