Reason for recall

Medical convenience kits are being recalled due to a potential breach in the package integrity of a component, the BD ChloraPrep 3mL applicator. Under certain circumstances the applicator may grow Aspergillus penicillioides, which may result in a breach of the package integrity. A breach of package integrity may contaminate other components in AVID Medical kits.

Packaging recalls include wrong labels, wrong products in the wrong bottle, missing leaflets, short-filled or empty capsules and seals that fail.
