Hand Biomechanics Lab Recalls Agee WristJack Fracture Reduction Systems

Hand Biomechanics Lab Inc is recalling 65 Agee WristJack Fracture Reduction Systems because a molded beam is slightly larger than optimal, which may make surgical adjustments difficult.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, and the hazard involves difficulty in device adjustment rather than a direct, reported injury or high-risk pathogen, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity recall.
