Medline Industries, LP is recalling approximately 660,829 ENFit G-tube connectors and kits because they were not manufactured to the correct size specifications.

This defect affects individual ENFit G-Tube Connectors (Item No. ENFIT1010GC) and specific G/J Tube Care and Discharge kits sold nationwide in the United States and in Canada.
The faulty connectors can leak medical fluids, which may cause patients to lose necessary fluids or experience delays in their medical care. If a user tries to stop the leak by over-tightening the connector, it could lead to infections, patient discomfort, or a longer recovery process.
