Cardinal Health issued a voluntary recall of 9.1 million surgical gowns, according to an article on the Becker's Hospital Review website.
Cardinal warned customers about potential quality issues with the Level 3 gowns and the procedure packs that contain them last week.
About 7.7 million were distributed to 2,807 facilities across the country.
A Cardinal investigator visited two contract locations and found several concerns, including an open environment where gowns were exposed to air particulate and other contaminants. Hand sanitation also was not provided.
