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.

Parker Waichman is a great law firm and most of all they treat you like more than just a client .I was dealing with another law firm prior to dealing with Parker Waichman and they never returned my calls and treated me like a burden rather than a client. But all of that changed when I came to this firm they always call me back and never make me feel as though I am a burden . They also work very hard for there clients and give you constant updates on how your case is going . I have sent family members of mines to them knowing that they will have the same care and compassion for them as they had for me.

I am currently a client of Parker Waichman and have been extremely happy with the firm's service. Christina Morace is my paralegal who has help make this experience ( the 911 process- Victim's Compensation Fund) easier, stress-free, and pleasant. and is a joy to work with. She has gone above and beyond her duties. Without her guidance, and support I wouldn't have been able to have gone through this. I am so grateful to her and highly recommend this firm.
