Amendia, Inc. is recalling 1,078 Dual Stylet Needles because packaging seals are compromised by channels or voids, potentially affecting product integrity.

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 integrity issue (unacceptable seals) without reporting any injuries, illnesses, or specific functional failures of the device itself, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity precautionary recall.
