Biomet 3i Dental Implant Abutments Recalled for Packaging Seal Defects

Biomet 3i is recalling 27 specific dental implant abutments because some product pouches may not have been sealed during packaging.

What this means for you

Cosmetic or documentation issue. No expected health impact, but the manufacturer is correcting the affected products.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as Low severity because the source text identifies the issue as a packaging-only problem (unsealed pouches) without reporting any injuries, illnesses, or functional defects in the medical device itself.
