The move follows a previous recall for these products announced in May, due to mould contamination of some products, which occurred during the manufacturing process.
At the time of initial recall, the company implemented a process intended to reduce the presence of viable mould on the products prior to shipment.
Gel-E Donut gel pillow and Squishon 2 gel cushions were developed to provide support for an infant’s head or body in a hospital environment.
The products can also be used in Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU), Pediatric Intensive Care Units (PICU) and neonatal care centres.
