RTI Surgical, Inc. is recalling 14 units of OPTEFORM Allograft Paste 5cc because they may contain a 10cc fluid dispenser with incorrect fill lines.

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. The hazard involves a packaging component (dispenser) with incorrect reference lines, which is a labeling/packaging issue rather than a direct contamination or structural defect causing immediate harm.
