Pinook Micro Massager Recalled for Lack of FDA Approval

Pinook-Usa is recalling 28,994 Pinook Micro Massagers because the company failed to submit a premarket submission and gain FDA approval for the device.

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, which typically indicates a situation where use of the product may cause temporary or medically reversible health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote. As no specific injuries or illnesses are reported in the source text, it falls under the Moderate category for regulatory non-compliance without reported harm.

Plain-English summary

Pinook-Usa is recalling 28,994 units of the Pinook Micro Massager, including Micro and Mini models. The product is used to strengthen abdominal muscles and was distributed nationwide in the United States, including Puerto Rico and Guam, as well as in Canada.

The recall was initiated because the firm failed to submit a premarket submission and gain approval of the medical device from the FDA. This regulatory failure means the device was marketed without the required safety and effectiveness review.

Consumers who purchased these devices should stop using them immediately. The recall covers all lots of the product.
