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 Class II medical device recall involves spinal fixation implant screws that may lack structural strength, a high-risk situation for surgical patients. However, no illnesses or injuries have been reported, and the hazard is potential rather than confirmed. Per the rubric, risk-of-harm products without reported injury score as High (3).
