What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The source text explicitly states the agency classification is Class I. Per the rubric, if the agency's own classification is FDA Class I, the score must be at least 4 (Severe).

Plain-English summary

Customed, Inc. is recalling specific lots of Liposuction Pack BOD, code 900-3028, due to a determination that packaging integrity may be compromised. The recall involves 30 units across two lots (113099553 and 140613790). The affected products are EO sterilized surgical convenient packs packaged into polyester/polyethylene breather bags with Tyvek double vents.

The recall is being conducted because the compromised packaging integrity could result in product contamination or a loss of sterility condition. This poses a risk of injury to patients who use the products. The agency has classified this as a Class I recall.

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. Healthcare facilities and consumers who have these specific lot numbers should stop using the products and contact the recalling firm for instructions on return or replacement.
