United StatesMultiple BD ChloraPrep products (Hi‑Lite Orange, Hi‑Lite Orange [3 mL/10.5 mL/26 mL packs], Clear, FREPP Clear, Scrub Teal) and BD PurPrep (povidone‑iodine 8.3% w/w with isopropyl alcohol 72.5% w/w) packaged as sterile applicators (many NDCs, catalog numbers and lots listed) are affected. They were recalled because unsterilized applicators intended for further processing and sterilization were instead distributed to customers outside the intended distribution channel, resulting in lack of assurance of sterility.
