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: This is an FDA Class II recall of a risk-of-harm product (surgical implant) where sterilization failure creates infection risk. No illnesses or injuries have been reported, making this a theoretical hazard rather than a confirmed harm event.
