FDA (Devices) recall action 94645
The FDA (Devices) publishes a recall like this one as 2 separate product records. They share a firm, a date and a cause; this page is all of them in one place, so the scale of the action is visible rather than spread across 2 pages.
The wrong configuration of the blade was in the package. The bevel was on the opposite side, instead of being in front (bevel up) it was in the back (bevel down).
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.
Beaver Visitec International is recalling 126 Xstar Safety Slit Knives with incorrect blade configuration. The recalled knives have the bevel oriented to the back instead of the front.
Beaver Visitec International is recalling the Xstar Safety Slit Knife Model 378227 because some units have the blade bevel installed incorrectly—facing downward instead of the intended upward orientation.
