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 a Class II recall with no reported injuries or illnesses. However, it is a risk-of-harm product because the failed quality control test means a surgical instrument may not function properly, creating potential for harm even without currently reported incidents.
