The Saudi Food and Drug Authority has withdrawn all “Care Plus” absorbent cotton products produced by CAREPLUS FOR MEDICAL INDUSTRIES, due to non-registration of the product.

It is required to register the product in the SFDA to ensure its conformity and safety.

The SFDA advised consumers not to use the mentioned product and dispose any sample they may have, emphasizing the importance of purchasing products from reliable sources.

The Authority explained that the absorbent medical cotton is a bandage made of cotton, and it is used for medical purposes such as stopping bleeding.

Consumers can report any incidents/adverse events or problems of medical devices and products to SFDA call center 19999, or the National Center for Medical Devices Reporting or the Saudi Vigilance Center.
