I know we can't be the only ones here who need to do injections every day...

ISSUE: Triad Group, a manufacturer of over-the-counter products and FDA notified healthcare professionals and patients of the recall involving all lots of alcohol prep pads, alcohol swabs, and alcohol swabsticks manufactured by Triad but sold as private labels at the consumer level. This recall has been initiated due to concerns about potential contamination of the products with Bacillus cereus. This recall involves those products marked as STERILE as well as non-sterile products. Use of contaminated alcohol prep pads, alcohol swabs, and alcohol swabsticks could lead to life-threatening infections, especially in at-risk populations, including immune suppressed and surgical patients.

This is scary. Sterile lubricant was also just recalled (think vaginal exams during labor).

Yes the Triad Sterile Lube was recalled.  We just got a letter from our Supplier along with a letter from Triad.  We use it for Gabrielle's catheter and enema.
