Stryker X-Change Medial Wall Mesh Small Recall for Incorrect Contents
Howmedica Osteonics Corp. is recalling 40 units of Stryker X-Change Medial Wall Mesh Small (6-Petal) because boxes contain the 4-Petal version instead.
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, but the hazard is a labeling/packaging error (wrong product in box) rather than a defect in the implanted device itself, fitting the 'Minor labeling errors' criterion.
