On August 17, 2015, Health Canada and Prym Company jointly announced a voluntary recall of Chinese-made gauze.
The name of the product being recalled is PrymSewing™ gauze. The product model number is #13004, the UPC code is 072879096385, and the color is white. Sold at Walmart supermarkets in Canada from July 1, 2011 to November 25, 2013.
The number of recalled products sold in Canada is approximately 2,448. The reason for the recall is that the product does not meet Canadian flammability standards and can easily cause fire and other hazards. As of now, Health Canada and Prym have not received any accident reports.
For this reason, Health Canada recommends that consumers immediately stop using the product and return it to Walmart for a full refund. Canada implements voluntary recall of gauze produced in China
