Genesis BPS Recalls Pediatric Blood Filter Syringes for Regulatory Non-Compliance

Genesis BPS, LLC. is recalling 7,272 units of Pedi-Pak Pedi-Syringe Filter 60 mL syringes because the company failed to notify the FDA of material changes.

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 due to a regulatory failure to notify the agency of material changes. The source text does not report any illnesses, injuries, or deaths, and the hazard is procedural rather than a direct physical defect causing harm, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity score.
