Reason for Recall
3M is conducting a voluntary product recall of selected lots of 3M" Scotchcast" Wet or Dry Cast Padding.
Upon investigation of a health care provider feedback, and confirmed with internal testing, it was found that the cast padding material does not consistently repel water. Lack of repellency may result in prolonged cast dry times after exposure to wet conditions.
There have been no repo
Firm Action

Customers were asked to examine their inventory and set aside any affected lots subject to the recall notice.
