Medicom recalls Level 3 masks (Item Code 2042) that may have been packed with lower protection level masks. Using these could lead to inadequate protection during use.
Due to an error on the packaging line, some level 2 masks may have been packed in some level 3 mask boxes. The two masks are visually indistinguishable, causing the risk of using a mask with a lower protection level than intended.
Medicom is recalling some Premier Plus Level 3 masks that may have been incorrectly packed with lower protection level masks. This could mean users get less protection than intended, especially in high-risk situations.
The masks are visually identical, so some Level 2 masks were mistakenly packed into Level 3 mask boxes. This means users might be using a mask with lower protection than what they thought they were getting, which could be problematic in situations requiring high protection.
Users of the Medicom Premier Plus Level 3 masks, particularly those in high-risk environments like healthcare or industrial settings, may be affected. People who purchased these masks from the specified lot (1917) are most at risk.
Check the item code on the mask box, which should be 2042. Look for the lot number 1917 on the packaging. The masks are labeled as 'Premier Plus ASTM Level 3' but may have been incorrectly packed with Level 2 masks.
Verify the item code on the mask box is 2042 and the lot number is 1917.
