Burlington Medical recalls 2-piece full wrap vests and kilts 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.

Healthcare workers using these vests during fluoroscopy or radiography procedures are most at risk. The recall affects specific models sold with serial numbers listed in the notice.
Check for the product name '2 pc Full Wrap Vest & Kilt' with serial numbers listed in the provided record. The product was sold with specific serial numbers starting with 381778, 387881, and other numbers.
