Reason for recall
Customed has determined that there is the possibility that packaging integrity may be compromised on different catalog numbers (multiple lots). This could result in an injury to the patient due to product contamination or loss of sterility condition.
Foreign material recalls cover pieces of metal, plastic, glass, wood or other objects that got into the product during processing and could cause injury if eaten.
