Keystone Dental Inc is recalling 13 Paltop Premium Surgical Kits because the 1.25mm Hex Drivers may be slightly oversized, making it difficult to engage screws and abutments.

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 functional defect (difficulty engaging screws) without reporting any injuries, illnesses, or hospitalizations, aligning with the 'Moderate' criteria for low-risk issues or voluntary precautionary actions.
