BD PurPrep (Povidone Iodine and Isopropyl Alcohol)

Class II — Moderate risk. May cause temporary or reversible harm; serious harm unlikely.

Why it was recalled

Lack of assurance of sterility: Unsterilized ChloraPrep & PurPrep Applicators, intended for further processing and sterilization were instead distributed to customers outside of the intended distribution channel

Cause type: Sterility / contamination

A product that must be sterile could not be assured sterile, or was contaminated. A top reason for injectables, eye drops and IV products - loss of sterility assurance can lead to serious infections. All sterility / contamination recalls.

D-0644-2026 · FDA notice

Check, then ask. Class II means harm is possible but usually temporary or reversible. Find the lot number on your package; if it matches, ask your pharmacist about a replacement. Do not simply stop a prescribed medication on your own - the gap can be riskier than the recall.
