Customed Recalls Tummy Tuck Surgical Packs Due to Packaging Integrity Concerns

Customed, Inc. is recalling Tummy Tuck surgical packs because packaging integrity may be compromised, potentially leading to product contamination or loss of sterility.

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. According to the rubric, if the agency's own classification is FDA Class I, the score must never go below 4. Additionally, the potential for loss of sterility in surgical packs is a significant injury risk.

Plain-English summary

The product is an EO sterilized surgical convenient pack containing various instruments and supplies, including gowns, towels, needles, syringes, and surgical blades.

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

Healthcare facilities and consumers who have these specific lots should stop using the products and contact Customed, Inc. for further instructions on return or disposal.
