Integra LifeSciences Corp. is recalling 552 instruction manuals for the Mayfield A2000 Skull Cap to correct inaccurate illustrations.

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 source text explicitly states no illnesses or injuries have been reported. The hazard is limited to documentation accuracy (mis-labeling/illustration error) rather than a direct physical defect in the device itself, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity score.
