Recalled Products

DiscPac Tip Caps

Reason

During a label review, it was identified that the single and case label templates for DiscPac tip caps did not include the latex symbol. DiscPacs were shipped with a missing latex symbol on both single and case label artwork. The IFU correctly identifies the latex content. The heat shrink tape used on the DiscPac package is the only component that contains latex. The tape does not come into direct contact with the tip caps, but must be peeled away and removed to access the self-righting tip caps.
