Reason for recall

As a distributor of tubing manufactured by Smooth Bore Plastics, we are initiating a product recall for specific lots of KC 036, KC 060 and KC 072 reusable ventilator tubes due to a possible manufacturing defect: A few tubes may have the potential for delamination to occur between the layers of the tube wall which, should it occur, would result in leakage
