Blood Product Recall

A blood product recall occurs when a blood donation or manufactured blood product is identified as potentially unsafe. This can happen if contamination, such as bacteria or viruses, is detected, or if there are errors in processing or labeling. The recall aims to prevent any risk of infection or adverse reactions in patients receiving these products. When a recall happens, hospitals and clinics are notified to stop using the affected blood and to return or dispose of it properly. These actions help ensure patient safety and maintain trust in the blood supply system.
