A list of the affected lot numbers can be found below. The company is instructing distributors and testing laboratories to destroy any of the recalled products that remain in their inventories.

Pedi Cap End Tidal CO2 Detectors Recalled (November 2009)

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010

Video originally created by FDA -- posted by Lawsuit.com on December 10, 2009

Covidien is recalling certain lots of its End-Tidal CO2 Detectors, the Pedi-Cap and Pedi-Cap 6, because a modification made by the manufacturer may occlude the patient’s airway. This could make it difficult to manually ventilate a patient, and lead to ineffective ventilation. Also, the indicator paper might not change color, so the operator can’t detect changes in CO2 levels.

The recall affects about 80 lots of these devices. In August, the company sent letters to its customers, advising them to review their inventory and return all devices from the affected lots.

Video originally created by FDA -- posted by Lawsuit.com on October 6, 2009

Parents and other caregivers of small children should be aware that the company Luv N’ Care Ltd. has recalled almost 20 styles of gel-filled teethers because they might be contaminated with bacteria.

The gel inside these teethers may contain Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus circulans. Adults exposed to these bacteria generally do not get sick. However, if the teether is punctured and infants or children with weakened immune systems ingest the gel containing these bacteria, they could suffer stomach pain, vomiting, diarrhea, and occasionally more serious disease.

The recall affects 15 styles of gel-filled teethers sold under the brand name “Nuby”, two sold under the “Cottontails” name and one sold under the “Playskool” name. UPC codes for these styles can be found below. Consumers who have these teethers should stop using them immediately and either throw them away or return them to the place of purchase for a refund. For questions, contact the company at 1-800-256-2399, ext. 3106.
