Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Hobbs Medical, Inc. is recalling 367 Posi-Stop Injection Needles because manufacturing debris found inside the device can block the needle's tip. This defect prevents injection solutions from flowing through the needle as intended during medical procedures. The recall affects 23-gauge and 25-gauge needles across nine different catalog models. To date, no incidents or injuries have been reported related to this issue.

Risk

Debris from the manufacturing process may be trapped within the needle's inner sheath, causing a complete or partial blockage. If a needle is blocked during use, a patient might not receive their required dose of medication, and there is a potential risk that debris could be introduced into the patient's body.
