Product Recall

In August 2018, the Company issued a voluntary recall of certain whole blood collection kits sold to its Blood Center customers in the U.S. The recall resulted from some collection sets' filters failing to adequately remove leukocytes from collected blood. As a result of the recall, the Company's Blood Center customers may have conducted tests to confirm that the collected blood was adequately leukoreduced, sold the collected blood labeled as non-leukoreduced at a lower price or discarded the collected blood. As of September 28, 2019, the Company has recorded cumulative charges of $1.9 million associated with this recall which consists of $0.1 million of charges associated with customer returns and inventory reserves

and $1.8 million of charges associated with customer claims. Substantially all outstanding claims have been paid as of September 28, 2019.
