The recall was initiated after it was discovered that the sponge from an oral
swab had become dislodged and obstructed the patient's airway.
Consumers that may have removed the swabs from the hospital are urged to destroy
the product, as they may present a potential choking hazard. Consumers with
questions may contact Tri-State Hospital Supply Corp. at 1-800-248-4058.
