Timeline

| 19 Dec 2025 | Classified by FDA | +29 days |

Companies usually start a recall weeks before the FDA classifies and publishes it; the gap above is that lag.
Reason for recall
Automated Dispensing Cabinets (ADC) received a Half Height CUBIE drawer firmware update, which caused a Cubie Insert event which prompts software to generate a duplicate address, which causes an error and the drawer to fail, which may lead to inability or delay in accessing stored items, delay in the replenishment of ADCs or patient specific medications stored outside of ADCs.
Lead and other heavy metals accumulate in the body. Children are most at risk; even low levels can affect development.
