Why these products were recalled

Zimmer Biomet initiated a voluntary recall of the Twist Drill & V-Tek Twist Drill due to to a potential tolerance stack up identified between the twist drill and the mating Kirschner Wire (K-Wire) component.

The agency’s own wording, quoted from the enforcement report.

The unit total adds up the quantities the agency stated for each product. Where a product record gave no figure, or gave a weight rather than a count, it contributes nothing — so the real total is at least this, never less.
