Improper shipping of medical devices and pharmaceuticals can result in products reaching their destinations past their shelf lives or required timeframe. This situation isn’t just harmful; it has the potential to be life-threatening for those who depend on these supplies, whether it’s for preventing the flu or fighting against cancer.
