Cardinal Health 200, LLC is recalling approximately 174.4 million Webcol Alcohol Prep Pads due to potential microbial contamination. The affected 2-ply sterile pads, sold in 200-count boxes, were found to contain Paenibacillus phoenicis, rendering the product non-sterile. This discovery was made after testing confirmed the presence of the contaminant in affected lots.
The use of these non-sterile prep pads may pose a potential infection risk, especially to vulnerable groups or individuals with weakened immune systems. A contaminant like Paenibacillus phoenicis can lead to serious health complications if it enters a wound or the bloodstream during medical procedures.
