3M Scotchcast, Wet or Dry Cast Padding recalled

Timeline

Companies usually start a recall weeks before the FDA classifies and publishes it; the gap above is that lag.

Reason for recall

3M is conducting a voluntary product recall of selected lots of 3M" Scotchcast" Wet or Dry Cast Padding. Upon investigation of a health care provider feedback, and confirmed with internal testing, it was found that the cast padding material does not consistently repel water. Lack of repellency may result in prolonged cast dry times after exposure to wet conditions. There have been no repo

Device recalls are issued when a component, software or design fault could cause the device to fail or give wrong readings. Many are corrections applied in the field rather than physical returns.
