Reported risk: The reason for the recall is device malfunction due to a quality issue in the manufacturing process. It was observed that some tubes had caps that were split along the side of the flip top. When this defect occurs, the cap does not stay on when the flip top is opened. The defect is visible to the user. If a defective tube is used, the sample could potentially leak, creating potential for biohazardous exposure.
