Exhibit 99

RETRACTABLE TECHNOLOGIES, INC. ANNOUNCES

WORKFORCE REDUCTION

LITTLE ELM, Texas, April 9, 2026—Retractable

Technologies, Inc. (NYSE American: RVP) reports that it has reduced its workforce by approximately 16%. The reduction is expected

to save an estimated $2.2 million in annual wages and employment benefits, or approximately 13% of total estimated workforce costs. The

expected savings are offset by estimated one-time separation payments of approximately $122 thousand to the affected workers. Approximately

58% of the targeted payroll reduction affects manufacturing or manufacturing support positions and the remainder of the reductions affects

sales and sales support roles.

The move comes as the Company continues to strengthen

its domestic production capabilities and increase manufacturing efficiencies, reducing its reliance on importing products from its contract

manufacturers in China. While contract manufacturers in China have historically produced most of the products the Company sells, the financial

impact of tariffs on imports from China has caused the Company to increase its domestic production where practical in order to mitigate

the cost of importing. While the increase in domestic manufacturing lessens the negative financial impact of tariffs, the Company is still

reliant on Chinese imports for products we are unable to produce with our current manufacturing equipment.
