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

Genesis BPS, LLC is recalling 4,608 units of Pedi-Pak Pedi-Syringe Filter 35 mL Monoject 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, but the source text cites a regulatory failure to notify the agency of material changes rather than a specific physical defect or reported injury, aligning with the 'Moderate' criteria for voluntary or administrative recalls without reported harm.
