Cardinal Health 200, LLC recalled Webcol Alcohol Prep pad (70% isopropyl alcohol) 2 ply in Mar 2026 — an FDA Class I recall (D-0528-2026) because Non-Sterility: microbial contamination identified as Paenibacillus phoenicis.
Most serious — a reasonable probability that use will cause serious harm or death.
Why it was recalled
Non-Sterility: microbial contamination identified as Paenibacillus phoenicis
Sterility could not be assured
The maker could not guarantee the product was sterile. That matters most for injections and eye products, where a contaminated dose reaches past the body's defences.
This is a manufacturing or quality failure, not a finding that the medicine is unsafe to take — across every recall we hold, none was issued for that reason. It does not mean the batch was harmless.
