“North Coast Medical Gladiator Orthosis Recall: Latex Not Declared on Label.” GovInfoNow, updated August 10, 2026. https://govinfonow.com/recall/57465-north-coast-medical-gladiator-orthosis-recall-latex-not-declared-on.

Why it’s dangerous

The orthosis straps may contain latex that isn't declared on the product label. This poses a risk for individuals with latex allergies who could experience an allergic reaction when they come into contact with the device.

Who’s affected

People who own or use the recalled Gladiator wrist and thumb orthoses are most at risk if they have latex allergies. Those with known latex sensitivity should avoid using these devices.
