### Why This Recall is Important
Medical devices and surgical kits must meet strict labeling and content accuracy standards to ensure proper use in critical scenarios. The affected **Laceration Tray MRX** incorrectly labels the inclusion of **Adson forceps without teeth** when, in fact, the kit contains **fine teeth forceps**. This discrepancy poses a serious risk, as improper instrumentation could result in errors during medical procedures. For healthcare providers, using the wrong tools—even unintentionally—can compromise patient safety during laceration repairs and related treatments.
Since these products are widely distributed to healthcare facilities, it is crucial to take this recall seriously and check your inventory for the affected lot.
