What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: FDA Class II recall involving a manufacturing defect that may compromise the sterile barrier of dental implants. Dental implants are high-risk products due to direct bone contact, and a breached sterile barrier poses contamination risk. No illnesses or injuries have been reported, so the hazard remains theoretical.
