CareFusion 213, LLC has recalled 385,200 applicators of BD ChloraPrep Clear (chlorhexidine gluconate and isopropyl alcohol), which is used to prepare a patient's skin before surgery. The recall was issued because some applicators may have an open seal on their individual pouch packaging. This defect means the solution inside is no longer guaranteed to be sterile, which could lead to infections if used during medical procedures. The affected 1 mL applicators were distributed nationwide in the U.S.
A broken seal on the packaging compromises the sterility of the applicator. If a non-sterile product is used to prepare skin for surgery, it may introduce bacteria or other contaminants into the surgical site, potentially causing serious infections.
Applicator is sterile if package is intact; Flammable; External Use Only.
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.
