Throat Swabs

Oral Swabs Are Being Recalled Due To A Choking Hazard. An oral swab that may represent a choking hazard has been recalled by the Tri-State Hospital Supply Corp., the company announced Friday.

The swab is part of a product called the Centurion Mouth Care Kit, distributed nationwide to hospitals after April 1.

Some of the swabs also were sold under the Shield Healthcare Center label as part of a kit used to deliver nutrition to patients through inserted tubes.

Swabs May Have Been Taken Home

The Howell, Mich., company said the swabs may have been taken home from hospitals and hospices by patients.

Tri-State said in a statement that the recall was ordered because a sponge on the swab can become dislodged and potentially could cause choking. The recall was initiated after a patient’s airway was blocked by a sponge from a swab.

The company urged patients who may have taken the swabs home from hospitals to destroy the product.

The swabs were distributed starting on April 1 in more than 100 lots, or shipment units.

Mom died as a result of nursing home negligence.The general consensus was that she was old and near death anyway...so,not worth much monetarily!!!The people at Parker Waichman felt otherwise.They handled the case and treated my sister and myself as though we were their ONLY clients.We were most fortunate to meet the AMAZING Cybele Louis and her team....Stephanie San Filippo and Cindy Custodio.They were sensitive to the needs of our family but also tough with our awful opponents!!!! They accomplished more in a few short months than had been done in six years!!!! I also thank the reception crew who took my endless calls!!!!(Special thanks to Stephanie for putting up with my rants!!!!)
