Medline Industries is recalling over 1.3 million units of Micro-Kill Germicidal Bleach Wipes because the product may lose its effectiveness before its 24-month expiration date. While the wipes remain safe and effective for up to 12 months, the company has identified stability concerns that could prevent the wipes from properly disinfecting surfaces after the one-year mark. The recall affects various packaging types, including canisters, buckets, and bags, distributed in the U.S. and internationally.
The bleach solution in these wipes may degrade faster than expected, meaning the wipes might not successfully kill the germs, viruses, or bacteria they are intended to eliminate. This poses a risk of infection or cross-contamination if used on medical equipment or surfaces that require high-level disinfection.
Contact Medline for stability concerns regarding 24-month shelf life.
