“ConvaTec SUR-FIT Natura Skin Barrier Recall: Incorrect Labeling Risk.” GovInfoNow, updated September 14, 2026. https://govinfonow.com/recall/72657-convatec-sur-fit-natura-skin-barrier-recall-incorrect-labeling-risk. Based on FDA recall #Z-0525-2018 (https://api.fda.gov/device/enforcement.json?search=recall_number:%22Z-0525-2018%22&limit=1).

Why it’s dangerous

The product was incorrectly labeled as a different type of skin barrier (Natura Moldable Stomahesive Skin Barrier) in some outer boxes. This labeling error could lead to users applying the wrong product, which might not fit properly or provide the intended protection for ostomy care.

Who’s affected

People who own or use the SUR-FIT Natura Moldable Durahesive Skin Barrier (10 pack, 45 mm, REF 411802) from Lot 7H02242 are affected. Those with ostomy care needs are most at risk due to potential confusion with the incorrect product.

How to tell if you have this one

Check if your SUR-FIT Natura Moldable Durahesive Skin Barrier (10 pack, 45 mm, REF 411802) was shipped in Lot 7H02242. The incorrect label shows REF 411803 instead of REF 411802.
