Medical device recalls linked to unprecedented level of faulty manufacturing

According to a report by Sedgwick this summer, manufacturing defects are the leading cause for product recalls in 2023.

Typically, issues like sterility, quality or malfunctioning parts are cited as leading causes of product recalls.

Sedgwick is a provider of technology-enabled risk, benefits and integrated business solutions. Chris Harvey, senior vice president of client relations at Sedgwick, said it’s premature to conclude that the increased number of manufacturing-related incidents is a definitive trend.
