Customed Recalls Tummy Tuck Surgical Packs Due to Packaging Integrity Concerns

Customed, Inc. is recalling Tummy Tuck Pack-BOD 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 criteria for a High severity score.

Plain-English summary

Customed, Inc. has initiated a recall of Tummy Tuck Pack-BOD surgical packs, code 900-3026. The recall involves 24 units across two lots (lot numbers 113099551 and 140312148). These packs contain various surgical items, including gowns, towels, cautery pencils, and drapes, and are EO sterilized and packaged in polyester/polyethylene breather bags with Tyvek double vents.

The recall was issued because Customed determined there is a possibility that the packaging integrity may be compromised. This defect could result in product contamination or a loss of sterility condition, which poses a risk of injury to patients.

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. Users of these products should stop using them and contact the manufacturer for further instructions.
