ICU Medical is recalling 160,016 blood set units because they were labeled as not containing DEHP, even though the product may contain small amounts of the chemical.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the source text identifies the issue as a labeling error regarding DEHP content without reporting any illnesses, injuries, or hospitalizations, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity labeling error.
