Medline Convenience Kits with Defective Plastic Syringes Recalled
Medline is recalling Convenience kits containing plastic syringes affected by an FDA Safety Alert due to leaks, breakage, and quality defects that may pose a risk to patient safety.
What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: This is a Class II medical device recall involving surgical kits where documented quality issues—leaks and breakage—pose a risk of patient harm. No illnesses or injuries have been reported in the source text. This meets the rubric criterion for 'High': risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
