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, and the hazard involves a missing component (taper adapter) which is a functional defect rather than a direct biological or physical injury risk like infection or fracture.
