Why it’s dangerous
The sterile pouches weren't completely sealed, which could allow air or moisture to enter. This might cause contamination or infection if the gloves are exposed to the environment.
Who’s affected
Healthcare workers and others using these gloves for medical procedures may be affected. The risk is low as the issue involves pouch sealing, not direct harm from the gloves themselves.
