Baxter IV bags with floaters or cores in them

Has anyone else had any recent issues with finding misc floaters in baxter IV bags, specifically NS 100ml and 250ml bags? We recently discovered some misc floaters that we do not believe came from our compounding process or technique. One was a light blue floater and the other was clear/white but seemed to be adhered to the side of the bag and did not fall off when bag was manipulated. WE will contact Baxter to see if they have had any recent complaints,but wanted to reach out to some others as well.
