Straumann USA is recalling 111 units of Bone Level Implants because the product transfer piece was fitted with a Narrow Connect instead of a Regular Connect.

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. The defect is a component mismatch (Narrow Connect vs. Regular Connect) with no reported injuries or illnesses, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity recall involving a potential functional defect rather than an immediate high-risk pathogen or structural failure with reported harm.
