The California Department of Public Health has issued an All Facilities Letter, advising healthcare facilities to remove all alcohol prep pads, alcohol swabs, and alcohol swabsticks supplied by the Triad Group. This is due to a voluntary recall by the Triad Group, as there are concerns about potential contamination of the products with Bacillus cereus. The recall affects both sterile and non-sterile products. The use of contaminated products could lead to life-threatening infections, particularly in at-risk populations such as immune-suppressed and surgical patients. Facilities should not use the affected products and return them to the place of purchase. Consumers or facilities with questions can contact Triad Group Customer Service. Healthcare professionals and patients are encouraged to report adverse events or side effects related to the use of these products to the FDA's MedWatch Safety Information and Adverse Event Reporting Program.
