Arthrosurface Shoulder Prosthetic Components Recalled for Marketing Clearance Issues

Arthrosurface, Inc. is recalling 136 units of HemiCAP shoulder prosthetic components because they were not cleared for marketing in the US with current indications.

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, which typically corresponds to a Moderate severity score (2) when no specific injuries or illnesses are reported in the source text, and the hazard is primarily regulatory (lack of marketing clearance).
