Customed Recalls Breast Surgical Packs Due to Packaging Integrity Concerns

Customed, Inc. is recalling specific lots of Breast 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 (loss of sterility/contamination) where injury has not yet been reported, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for theoretical hazards without confirmed illness.

Plain-English summary

Customed, Inc. is recalling 60 units of Breast Pack BOD (code 900-3029) surgical packs. The recall affects three specific lots: 113099554, 140312149, and 140613789. These packs contain various surgical items, including gowns, towels, a pencil cautery, syringes, suction tubes, and other instruments, and are EO sterilized.

The recall was initiated because Customed determined there is a possibility that the packaging integrity may be compromised on these catalog numbers. 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. Healthcare facilities and consumers should stop using these specific lots and contact the manufacturer for further instructions.
