Customed Minor Laceration Tray Recalled for Sterilization Validation Issues

Customed, Inc. is recalling Minor Laceration Trays because the sterilization processes and package integrity were not adequately validated.

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 does not report any hospitalizations or injuries. The hazard is a potential failure of sterility due to validation issues, which fits the criteria for a moderate risk without reported harm.

Plain-English summary

Customed, Inc. is recalling 2,750 units of Minor Laceration Trays (Code 9001765). The recall was initiated because the company did not adequately validate or qualify the sterilization processes and package integrity for these products, which were released for distribution as sterile.

The affected products were distributed only in Puerto Rico. The recall includes specific lots with expiration dates ranging from January 31, 2016, to May 31, 2016.
