Reason for
Recall |
This recall has been initiated due to confirmation that the Polar Dressing, Knee/MU/Shldr Intelli-Flo-Breg does not meet the required thickness as specified. The dressing in the sterile pouch measures a thickness of 0.010" instead of 0.020". This change in thickness makes the dressing
thinner, less durable and subject to tearing. The product is mislabeled.
