Jackson-Pratt Silicone Flat Drain, Full Ducts recalled

Timeline

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

Reason for recall

Product's seal possibly compromised, potentially compromising the sterility of the package contents. Use of impacted products could result in an increased risk of infection.

A sterility recall means a product that must be sterile, such as an injection or eye drop, may be contaminated. Using a non-sterile product can cause serious infection.
