Faulty batch of BD fine needles

[KookyCat]

Anyone ever had a faulty batch of needles? I seem to have a batch that are blunt, which is quite painful, it took me a while to work it out because when I pick up a box I empty them into a plastic box for easier storage so I've mixed more than one lot together, but all the dodgy needles have the same lot number. I've got another box so I will just use those but wondered if I should inform the company who makes them?

Of course inform the company of the faulty batch. They should replace the package for you. Plus it might prevent the rest of thr batch being issued to other people.

Thanks Copepod, I shall report them shortly.

I've had the odd dud where there was no hole in the needle, but not a whole batch of faulty ones, no. Glad you're going to report the fault.

I have a small box (one of those 3 for £1 at Poundland ones) which stores 40 needles, but the only time I mix batches is when I put in the last 20 of the old box and the first 20 of the new one. I suppose I'll have to stop doing that in case I get a faulty batch. 😱

Yes I won't be mixing them anymore, sorting through all those needles to find the dodgy ones was really annoying 🙄
