Medline Industries is recalling 48,492 Leg Bags because they contain undeclared latex. These medical devices are used to collect urine from patients with catheters. The recall affects three specific models: DYND12574, DYND12578, and URO12573. Because the packaging does not indicate that the products contain latex, patients and healthcare providers who are allergic to latex may use them unknowingly. These products were distributed in the United States and Panama.
Latex is not listed on the product labeling, which can lead to severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) or skin irritation for individuals with latex sensitivities. While no specific injuries were mentioned in the recall notice, the presence of an undeclared allergen in a medical setting poses a medium risk to sensitive users.
