Waldemar Link BiMobile UHMWPE Liner Recalled for Incorrect Internal Labeling

Waldemar Link is recalling 30 BiMobile UHMWPE Liners because internal labeling may contain incorrect part numbers, risking errors in patient records.

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 limited to labeling errors that could affect patient records rather than direct physical harm, fitting the 'minor labeling errors' criterion for a Moderate score.
