Medical Wipe Recall

Sage Products, Cary, NC, is voluntarily initiating a nationwide recall of one lot of Comfort Shield Barrier Cream Cloths, which are distributed to both health care facility and individual users. The recall is being initiated due to product contamination with the bacteria, Burkholderia cepacia.
 
Topical administration of a product with B. cepacia may cause serious infections in patients whose bodies cannot fight disease or in hospitalized patients, as well as certain other patient groups. These infections could be life-threatening.
 
To date, no adverse events have been reported associated with the recalled products, which were distributed to distributors and healthcare facilities in the United States. The product, Comfort Shield Barrier Cream Cloths is a non-sterile, topical skin protectant used to treat and prevent moisture associated skin irritation caused by urine and/or stool exposure. The package contains three, single-use, disposable cloths.
 
Sage Products notified its distributors and health care facilities by letter, and they were provided instructions to discontinue use and return product to Sage Products. The affected lot was distributed to customers between March 31, 2016 and June 8, 2016.
