Unable to retract needle from 20g x 1 1/4 inch iv into plastic safety device during piv placement.Still able to place device for use.Site painful to patient but no injury noted upon placement and obtained blood return for lab draw and flushed line with 10 ml normal saline flush.Large potential for unintentional needle stick of patient or staff.Multiple rns had the same - unable to retract needle issue.Since the packaging was not saved we can not validate for sure which lot number was associated with this issue.We did go ahead and remove from service the lot number, 4165857, we expected to be involved.
