Cardinal Health Issues Voluntary Nationwide Recall of Webcol™ Large Alcohol Prep Pad

DUBLIN, Ohio, March 19, 2026 – Cardinal Health has issued a voluntary recall for select lots of Webcol^™ Large Alcohol Prep Pads (70% isopropyl alcohol) to the consumer level. The product is being recalled due to microbial contamination identified as Paenibacillus phoenicis.

There is a reasonable probability that use of the contaminated pads may result in local and systemic infections in at-risk populations; patients with impaired immune response, including patients with cancer receiving chemotherapy or poorly controlled diabetes, may develop life-threatening infections such as bacteremia or central nervous system infections.

The Webcol^™ Alcohol Prep Pad is used for external use only and utilized for cleansing.

The product was distributed in the U.S., Puerto Rico and Japan between September 2025 and February 2026.

Affected Webcol^™ Alcohol Prep Pad lots include the following lot numbers:

Impacted lots: Webcol^™ Large Alcohol Prep Pad (product code 5110)
