BD ChloraPrep CLear recall
FDA recall D-0652-2026 · initiated Jun 11, 2026
CareFusion 213, LLC recalled BD ChloraPrep CLear in Jun 2026 — an FDA Class II recall (D-0652-2026) because 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.
May cause temporary or medically reversible harm; low probability of serious harm.
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.
