Medline Industries is recalling approximately 67,811 units of its 4.5-inch sterile, curved Iris Scissors sold in both individual units and cases. The recall was initiated because the tip protector on the scissors has the potential to fall off, which could lead to unintended contact with the sharp medical instrument. These products were distributed nationwide in the United States as well as in Canada and Singapore.
If the tip protector falls off, the sharp curved blades of the scissors are exposed, posing a risk of puncture wounds or cuts to healthcare providers and patients during handling or use.
