More potentially tainted medical products recalled

Smith & Nephew says medical adhesive wipes, remover could harbor dangerous bacteria..

Since early January, the FDA has received 201 reports of problems with Triad alcohol wipes, including allegations of seven deaths, 114 infections and 87 minor problems, such as rashes, according to a summary of the agency's MedWatch reporting system. FDA officials are investigating the deaths; however, only one — a 2-year-old boy — specifically cited Bacillus cereus as the cause. The others did not include a specific organism or cause of death, and FDA officials can't yet say whether they were related to use of the Triad products....

Recalled products include REMOVE Universal Adhesive Remover Wipes, UNI-SOLVE Adhesive Remover Wipes, SKIN-PREP Protective Wipes, PERI-PREP Protective Wipes and NO-STING SKIN-PREP Protective Wipes. The affected product codes are 420400, 420471, 59420425, 403100, 402300, 59403125 and 59420600.
