Medline Laryngeal Masks recalled due to potential cuff disconnection

Medline Industries is recalling approximately 8,990 cases of Standard PVC Laryngeal Masks distributed nationwide because the mask cuff may disconnect from the breathing tube.

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: This FDA Class II recall involves a functional defect in a medical airway device where the cuff may disconnect from the breathing tube. While no injuries are reported in the source text and the hazard is currently theoretical, such disconnection during airway use poses inherent risk to patient safety.
