What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II recall of surgical implant components due to packaging and labeling errors. While no illnesses or injuries have been reported, the mispackaging creates a risk that surgeons could inadvertently implant the wrong-sized component during surgery, qualifying it as a risk-of-harm product with a severity score of 3 per the rubric.
Plain-English summary
Smith & Nephew, Inc. is recalling 31 Genesis II Non-Porous Tibial Baseplate components used in knee replacement surgery. The recalled devices consist of two specific products: Genesis II Non-Porous Tibial Baseplate Size 5 Right (Product #71420186, Lot #21DM14954S) and Genesis II Non-Porous Tibial Baseplate Size 4 Left (Product #71420166, Lot #21FM13870A), both expiring in October 2030.
The devices were mispackaged, with the components inside the inner tray not matching the label on the outer box and accompanying documentation. This mislabeling creates a risk that surgeons could inadvertently implant the wrong-sized tibial baseplate during knee replacement surgery.
The affected devices were distributed nationwide to hospitals and surgical centers in Arizona, California, Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, Minnesota, Michigan, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin. Healthcare providers should immediately quarantine any remaining units matching the recalled lot numbers and verify correct component identification before implantation.
