Medline Industries Inc. has recalled approximately 7,463 units of Pivetal Hypodermic Needles used for veterinary purposes. Tiny pinholes were discovered in the needle caps, which can allow bacteria or other contaminants to enter the sterile packaging and compromise the safety of the needle. While no injuries or incidents have been reported, these needles are sold in various sizes for veterinary use and were distributed in Missouri.
A pinhole in the needle cap breaks the sterile barrier of the device, which may lead to the introduction of pathogens during an injection and cause infections in animals.
