Biomet 3i Dental Implant Abutments Recalled for Packaging Seal Defects
Biomet 3i is recalling a limited number of Low Profile 30-degree abutments because some product pouches may not have been sealed during packaging.
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, which typically indicates a temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequence. The hazard is a packaging seal defect, which is a quality control issue rather than a direct structural failure or high-risk pathogen, fitting the Moderate severity criteria for low-risk contamination or voluntary precautionary measures.
