AngioScore Incorporated, Fremont, CA initiated a worldwide recall of the AngioSculpt® PTA Scoring Balloon Catheter, 0.018” OTW, balloon sizes: 4.0x20mm, 5.0x20mm, and 6.0x20mm. This recall was initiated because of a small number of reports from the field of distal bond failure which has resulted in peeling of the bond and/or detachment of the distal end of the scoring element, wherein the proximal end of the scoring element remains secured to the catheter. Retained device fragments or significant arterial injury due to device failure may occur which may lead to death, need for percutaneous catheter-based interventions to remove retained device fragments, increased exposure to anesthesia, and loss of limb. There have been no reported injuries related to this failure mode to date.

Boncheff Greenhouses, Inc. of Toronto, Ontario is recalling Cilantro, Curly Parsley, and Italian Parsley, because they have the potential to be contaminated with
