Why these products were recalled

Two lengths of the 6.5mm RingLoc Hip System Self-Tapping Bone Screw may have the potential for the 30mm screws to be packaged as 20mm screws and vice versa.

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.
