Taizhou Kangping Medical Science And Technology Co., Ltd. is recalling approximately 3.85 million cartons of BZK Antiseptic Towelettes (benzalkonium chloride 0.13%) because the sterility of the product cannot be guaranteed. These towelettes are intended for use as an external antiseptic and are packaged in cartons containing 100 individual wipes. The recall affects products manufactured in China and distributed to professional users in New York.
Using a product labeled as sterile that is not actually sterile can cause serious infections, particularly if the towelette is used on broken skin or during medical procedures. This lack of assurance of sterility means the product may contain microorganisms that could harm the patient.
