Just in case you folks haven't taken notice, Triad, the Wisconsin medical supply firm tied to infections and death blamed on contaminated medical wipes, has been asked by the FDA to voluntarily stop making and distributing its drug products. The recall initially covered just alcohol pads but now has been widened to include Providone Iodine Pads as well. Note that products going back to '08 are affected. In one test, 40 out 60 of the pads tested from 8 out of 10 lots were found to be contaminated with infectious pathogens. In the case of the PVD pads, the contaminents include flesh eating bacteria.

While going thru my FAKs I found a box of PVP in my stock. And I know for a fact that I used a few of them last time I got a bad cut last summer.

Check the list of affected products just to be safe. Triad produced products for almost two dozen different brands including Walgreens and CVS.
