Recall : Counterfeit surgical mesh under the C. R. Bard/Davol brand name

Posted on by

First of all, what kind of evil bastich sells fake surgical supplies? That’s going to max out the Bad Karma Card pretty quick!

The FDA announced a recall on “counterfeit surgical mesh being distributed in the United States under the C. R. Bard/Davol brand name.”

“Investigations by the FDA and Bard show that the following products, sizes and lots of counterfeit flat sheet polypropylene surgical mesh are not manufactured by Bard. To date, four product sizes have been identified:

0112650 – Bard Flat Mesh 2”x 4”
Lot 43APD007		 Lot 48HVS036
0112660 – Bard Flat Mesh 10”x 14”
Lot HURL0336		 Lot HUSD0629
0112680 – Bard Flat Mesh 3”x 6” Lot 43HPD027
Lot 43HPD032
Lot HUSG0540
Lot 43HDP027
Lot HUSE0532 Lot 43LPD507
Lot HUSF0763
Lot 43IOD011
Lot 43IPD038
0112720 – Bard Flat Mesh 6” x 6” Lot 43FQD327

It should be pretty easy to catch whoever is manufacturing and selling these. Just arrest the sales reps who showed up with these items, offer them reduced (or no) jail time in trade for information on where they got it, and backtrack where they got it from. And then put the manufacturers of this in jail for a long time, because messing with ER supplies is directly messing with people’s lives.

Here’s the link to the official FDA recall notice.
