Integra Talar Dome Total Ankle Prosthesis Recalled for Labeling Error

Integra LifeSciences is recalling 2,029 Talar Dome Total Ankle Prostheses because the labels and instructions for use list an incorrect metallic coating material symbol.

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 explicitly states the issue is a labeling error (incorrect symbol) and does not report any illnesses or injuries. Per the rubric, minor labeling errors or voluntary precautionary recalls without reported harm fall under Moderate (Score 2).
