Recall Insight

This FDA Devices action (record #Z-0517-2026) was formally reported on November 26, 2025, with the manufacturer initiating the action on September 30, 2025. It is classified under Moderate severity (Class II), with a current status of Ongoing. Medline Industries, LP is listed as the recalling firm, operating out of Northfield, IL. Federal records indicate 28679 kits units are affected.

The documented reason for this recall is: Medline Industries, LP is issuing a recall for specific item(s) and lot(s) of Medline Kits containing SafeAir Smoke Evacuation Pencils. Stryker Instruments has expanded the scope of their recall of SafeAir Smoke Evacuat… Distribution data in the federal record shows the product reached: US Nationwide distribution.. Distribution scope directly affects the consumer exposure window and determines whether a recall remains regional or escalates into a nationwide advisory.

To put this record in context, PlainRecalls indexes 83,949 recalls across the FDA, CPSC, NHTSA and USDA FSIS going back to 1995. Within the same product category, the database holds 6 closely related recalls, of which 6 were also issued by FDA Devices. That clustering is a signal — repeated actions in a narrow category often indicate a systemic quality-control issue, a supplier-wide contamination, or a design defect that has propagated across product lines. This recall is roughly 1 year old; older recalls can remain relevant because many units enter resale, rental, and secondary-market channels where the original warning never reaches the end user. Always cross-check the recall number against the official agency page before relying on any summary.

Reason for Recall

Medline Industries, LP is issuing a recall for specific item(s) and lot(s) of Medline Kits containing SafeAir Smoke Evacuation Pencils. Stryker Instruments has expanded the scope of their recall of SafeAir Smoke Evacuation Pencils previously initiated in October 2024, adding an additional 47 lots to the scope of the recall. The initial recall was due to the potential for product to activate without manual input when plugged into a power source or remain active after buttons are released.
