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 describes a labeling/documentation discrepancy regarding expiration dates without reporting any illnesses, injuries, or specific health hazards, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity voluntary precautionary recall.
Plain-English summary
Synthes USA is recalling 5 units of Norian Drillable Inject (Product Number: 07.704.010S, Lot Number: DSE0733). The recall was initiated after the contract supplier notified DePuy Synthes on June 16, 2017, that the kit expiration dates do not align with the earliest expiration date of the component lots within the kit.
The issue involves some kit expiration dates being later than the earliest expiration date of the component lots, meaning the expiration dates of some components are earlier than that listed on the kit. The product was distributed nationwide.
