Zimmer, Inc. is recalling approximately 66,960 Disposable Mixing Bowls with Spatulas because the package seals may be defective. The company received ten complaints of incomplete seals, wrinkles, or peeling, which can compromise the sterile barrier required for surgery. These kits were sold nationwide and internationally through hospital suppliers and medical device distributors.
A compromised sterile barrier can lead to surgical infections or cause delays during an operation if the defect is discovered mid-procedure, potentially requiring additional surgical intervention.
Affected units include both 20-pack UDIs and individual UDIs across the listed lot numbers.
If you or a family member were harmed by this recalled product, you may have legal rights. Consider consulting a consumer protection attorney to understand your options for compensation.
