Burlington Medical recalls Overlap Vests with product numbers FVest and part numbers REFVEST*F, REFVEST*M, etc. due to potential inadequate radiation protection, increasing cancer and infertility risks with long-term exposure.
The protective material used in the manufacture of the products could potentially provide inadequate protection for the product user. Use of the products could expose the user to scatter radiation of varying degrees depending on many different variables (e.g., distance, shielding, position, time, kV, etc.). Long-term exposure to scatter radiation may increase the risk of cancer, infertility, or other health-related conditions.
