Medline Industries, LP is recalling approximately 2,259,330 units of various Wayson Hydrocolloid Bandages sold at Meijer, Rite Aid, and Walmart. The recall includes multiple styles such as heel, all-purpose, finger and toe, clear waterproof, and blister bandages distributed nationwide and internationally. The recall was initiated because the sterility of the bandages may be compromised, which could lead to skin or wound infections if used. There have been no reports of incidents or injuries related to this issue to date.
A loss of sterility means the bandages could contain bacteria or other harmful microorganisms. Applying a non-sterile bandage to an open wound, blister, or sensitive skin area can introduce contaminants and significantly increase the risk of infection.
