Bard Midstream Urine Collector Recalled for Iodine Prep Pad Deficiency
Bard Medical Division is recalling 131,950 urine collection kits because the included iodine prep pads failed to meet required assay levels for their expiration dating.
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, and the source text describes a failure to meet assay requirements for expiration dating without reporting any specific injuries, illnesses, or deaths. This aligns with the rubric for moderate severity involving low-risk contamination or labeling/quality control issues where harm has not been reported.
