Fresenius Medical Care is recalling more than 374,000 syringes distributed across the U.S.
The Waltham, Mass.-based company is removing the products in a Class I recall — defined as a probability the devices can result in serious health events or death — because there might be "blood backfill leakage and foreign material," according to the FDA.
The affected products include all lots of 10 milliliter Syringe Luer Lock without Needle, 10 milliliter Syringe Luer Lock with Needle and 3 milliliter Syringe Luer Lock with Needle.
