Grafton DBM Matrix Strips Recalled for Packaging Inspection Defect
Medtronic is recalling specific serial numbers of Grafton DBM Matrix Strips due to a potential defect in the outer Tyvek pouch resulting from a missed inspection step during manufacturing.
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: This is an FDA Class II recall with no reported illnesses or injuries. The hazard is a potential packaging defect rather than a confirmed product defect, and the recall is precautionary in nature. The score reflects that FDA Class II requires a minimum of 2, while the absence of reported harm keeps it from being rated higher.
