China NMPA Product Recall - Disposable medical masks

Anhui Xiaoshan Sanitary Materials Co., Ltd. has initiated a voluntary Level III recall of its disposable medical masks, specifically those produced under batch number 20220222. This action follows the masks' failure to meet quality standards during a random inspection. The public notice regarding this recall was issued on June 21, 2022, by the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) and publicized via the Anhui Provincial Drug Administration Website. The report indicates that the affected products did not pass a random inspection, though the specific nature of the non-compliance was not detailed in the available document. A Level III recall signifies that while a product is in violation of regulations, its use or exposure is not likely to cause adverse health consequences. As a required action, Anhui Xiaoshan Sanitary Materials Co., Ltd. must remove all disposable medical masks from the specified batch number from distribution. Additional information concerning the models and specifications of the recalled items is expected to be detailed in a 'Medical Device Recall Event Report Form'.
