Class IIFDA: OngoingCovidien LP
Understanding this recall history
This page summarizes recall records in which the official source identifies Covidien, LP as the recalling firm or manufacturer. The number of records should not be treated as a safety rating or a measure of company size, because recall counts depend on product mix, reporting periods and how government records are organized.
