Stanmore Implants Recalls DF Coated Integral Shaft and Stem Components

Stanmore Implants Worldwide Ltd. is recalling 15 units of DF Coated Integral Shaft & Stem components due to packaging punctures reported by customers.

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 packaging defect (punctured pouch) without reporting any patient injuries, illnesses, or hospitalizations, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity precautionary recall.
