Safeguard US Operating LLC is recalling 1,630 units of HAWK Warming Grids, Hypothermia Management Sets, and various medical convenience kits because they were labeled with incorrect expiration dates. These devices are used to manage patient body temperature in emergency or clinical settings, and an incorrect date could lead to the use of components beyond their intended shelf life. The recall affects specific HAWK products and multi-item kits like the Combat Life Saver and Cold Weather resupply sets sold across 16 U.S. states.
The use of medical devices past their actual expiration date may result in decreased performance or compromised sterility of the components, potentially leading to ineffective treatment for hypothermia or an increased risk of infection for the patient. No injuries or incidents have been reported to date.
