Manufacturer Reason for Recall |
Cracks were discovered in the PET tray of a small population of sterile product. These cracks create a risk of loss of sterile barrier for the product. Sampling and root cause analysis indicated that the risk could extend throughout the lots manufactured from September 2014-July 2015. This led to the decision to recall the product.
