B Braun recalls Stimuplex A surgical needles with DEHP traces in glue. These needles may cause health issues if used repeatedly. Check your product's catalogue number for affected batches.
The devices are labeled "not made with DEHP" or the DEHP free symbol; however, the glue used contains traces of DEHP.
