China NMPA Product Recall - Disposable medical masks

Liaoning Aoke Pharmaceutical Excipients Co., Ltd. has initiated a voluntary Level III recall of its disposable medical masks, identified by registration number 20202140148. The recall was publicly announced on August 17, 2020, through the Liaoning Provincial Drug Administration, operating under the regulatory framework of the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA). The core issue prompting this action is that the mask strap's breaking strength index failed to meet the required standard specifications. This non-compliance indicates a potential quality deficiency that could impact the product's performance. As a required action, the company has voluntarily withdrawn the affected batches from the market, with detailed product models, specifications, and batch information documented in a Medical Device Recall Event Report Form. This situation underscores the critical importance of adhering to stringent quality control standards for medical devices within the NMPA's regulatory oversight to ensure product efficacy and consumer safety.
