Cardinal Health 200, LLC is recalling 251,165 units of ChemoPlus protective gowns and sleeves because the product packaging lists an incorrect expiration date. While the products are labeled with a five-year shelf life, they actually only have a validated shelf life of three years. This recall includes various styles of gowns and sleeves, including sterile and non-sterile options in multiple sizes and back configurations. Using these products past their actual three-year expiration date could compromise the protective barrier or sterility, posing a risk to patients and healthcare workers.
The gowns and sleeves may lose their protective integrity or sterility after their true three-year expiration date. This could result in healthcare workers being exposed to hazardous chemicals like chemotherapy drugs or patients developing infections during medical procedures if a non-sterile gown is used.
If you or a family member were harmed by this recalled product, you may have legal rights. Consider consulting a consumer protection attorney to understand your options for compensation.
