BD Gravity Infusion Sets Labeled DEHP-Free But Contain DEHP

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: FDA Class II recall with no reported illnesses or injuries. The hazard—DEHP exposure in medical devices—presents potential health risks but no actual harm has been documented. This meets the rubric criterion for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
