Why it was recalled
Lack of assurance of sterility: Unsterilized ChloraPrep & PurPrep Applicators, intended for further processing and sterilization were instead distributed to customers outside of the intended distribution channel
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.
