Why it was recalled

The pouches of certain lots of product may have wrinkles along the pouch seal that could result in a channel within the seal. Should there be a channel in the pouch seal it may result in a breach in the sterility of the product.

Class II means using this product may cause temporary or medically reversible health problems; the chance of serious harm is remote.
