Where it was sold

Why it was recalled

The affected Milex Gellhorn pessaries were incorrectly manufactured with a long stem (2.170 ), instead of a short stem (1.670 or 1.960 nominal height) as required. The length discrepancy does not meet the released print dimensions.

This product could cause temporary or reversible health problems — stop using it.
