Has anyone been seeing a rash of leaky formalin specimen containers lately? Specifically the small 4oz red lid containers from a certain manufacturer? We are seeing leakage from probably 70-80% of the containers in the last couple of months. Multiple lot #s and multiple clinic locations. It is being addressed inhouse (please tighten/don't over tighten/leave containers upright.....) Also - our lot#s could be some older ones as we are just now picking back up from the COVID shut down. These have likely been sitting in the clinics for a while so they might not be any that are currently in circulation out there. Just thought I'd see if there is a problem elsewhere. TIA for any responses.
