SVS LLC is recalling approximately 155,540 boxes of non-sterile, blue nitrile medical examination gloves due to reports of skin irritation and the gloves disintegrating when used with certain cleaning solutions. Additionally, some products are mislabeled, where the size listed on the outer box does not match the size of the gloves inside. These defects could lead to skin reactions or a lack of protection against contamination during medical exams. Consumers should contact their healthcare provider or the manufacturer for further instructions and potential refund information.
The gloves may cause skin irritation upon contact or tear and disintegrate when exposed to cleaning chemicals, which removes the protective barrier between the user and potential contaminants. Mislabeled sizing also increases the risk of gloves tearing if a user unknowingly attempts to wear a size that is too small.
