Medline Industries is recalling 37,368 boxes of CVS Health Waterproof Wound Tracking Dressings because the product failed sterility testing. These 4-inch by 4-inch dressings, which are intended to provide a sterile environment for wounds, may be contaminated and pose a risk of infection. The affected boxes contain four dressings each and were sold in various states including California, Florida, New York, and Texas. Consumers should immediately stop using these dressings and contact their healthcare provider or the manufacturer.
The dressings failed testing designed to ensure they are free from bacteria and other microorganisms. Using a non-sterile dressing on an open wound can introduce contaminants directly into the body, significantly increasing the risk of serious skin or systemic infections.
