Chinese supplier Siyang HolyMed outsourced some of its surgical gowns production to a non-registered, non-qualified facility where sterility could not be assured — sending hospitals scrambling after Cardinal Health (NYSE:CAH) recalled 9 million of the gowns after learning of the problem.
That was the story Dublin, Ohio–based Cardinal Health disclosed in a news release out after the close of stock trading today, saying that it terminated its relationship with the Chinese outfit after discovering the problem in December 2019.
