Additional Manufacturer Narrative
(B)(4). THE CUSTOMER REPORTED MOLD ON THE WEDGIE PRODUCT. NO PT INCIDENT/INJURY WAS REPORTED. THIS COMPLAINT IS BEING REPORTED, AS NO MATERIAL IS AVAILABLE FOR EVAL TO CONFIRM THAT THERE IS NO MOLD IN/ON THE PRODUCT. THERE IS NO CURRENT EVIDENCE THAT MOLD WILL GROW INSIDE THE WEDGIE PRODUCT (GEL MATRIX). THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF GEL "SWEATING" THROUGH THE BLADDER FOR MOLD TO GROW ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE BLADDER. THE BLADDER IS MADE OF VINYL, WHICH IS A DIFFERENT MATERIAL FROM THAT USED FOR THE GEL-E DONUT PRODUCT. NO PRODUCT MALFUNCTION CAN BE CONFIRMED/DETERMINED, AS NO MATERIAL IS AVAILABLE FOR EVAL/TESTING.
