What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Plain-English summary

Medline Industries, LP is recalling 352 units of C-Section Prep Convenience Kits (Model Number DYNJ32702B) distributed nationwide in the United States. The recall involves specific lots identified by UDI-DI 10193489431070 and 40193489431071, with lot numbers 25BBG443, 25EBL829, 24EBR761, 24GBC622, 24GBX458, and 23LBT973.

The recall is due to a potential breach of sterility in the packaging of the BD ChloraPrep Clear and FREPP Clear applicators included in the kits. Wrinkles in the paper lidding may extend to the seal area, potentially compromising the sterile barrier. If the barrier is compromised, patients and users may be exposed to microbial contamination.

Potential health consequences range from no injury to localized infection or more serious infections requiring medical treatment, antimicrobial therapy, or hospitalization. In rare cases, severe infection could become life-threatening, particularly for critically ill or immunocompromised patients. Consumers and healthcare providers should check their inventory for the affected model and lot numbers and stop using these kits if they match the recalled description.
