What this means for you

Our severity reasoning: The agency classified this as a Class I recall, and the rubric specifies that FDA Class I recalls must be scored as at least 4 (Severe).

Plain-English summary

Customed, Inc. is recalling Liposuction Packs, code 900-2681, due to a potential compromise in packaging integrity. The recall involves one lot (112093711) consisting of 80 packed units. The product is an EO sterilized surgical convenient pack packaged in a polyester/polyethylene breather bag with Tyvek double vents.
