China Daheng Recalls Denlase and Penlase Dental Laser Systems for Missing Calibration Procedures

China Daheng Group Inc. is recalling 238 Denlase and Penlase dental laser systems because the user manuals lacked required calibration procedures.

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 documentation and labeling deficiency (missing calibration procedures) rather than a direct physical defect or reported injury, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity recall.

Plain-English summary

China Daheng Group Inc. is recalling 238 units of the Denlase Diode Laser Therapy System and Penlase Dental Laser Therapy System. The recall was initiated because the products failed to provide calibration procedures to purchasers, as required by 21 CFR 1040.11(a)(2). Specifically, the user manuals did not contain the necessary calibration instructions for these laser devices.

The affected units were distributed in the United States to California, Kansas, Illinois, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Wisconsin, Wyoming, Kentucky, Florida, and New York. The products were also distributed internationally to India, Indonesia, Turkey, Denmark, and France.

Consumers and healthcare providers should stop using the affected laser systems and contact China Daheng Group Inc. for further instructions on the recall.
