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.
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.
