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 hazard is limited to a sticky substance from packaging material with no reported injuries or illnesses, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity precautionary recall.
Plain-English summary
Nobel Biocare USA LLC is recalling 102 units of NobelReplace CC RP 4.3x8mm dental implants (Article No. 36704). The affected units are identified by Batch Nos. 13011378, 13011379, and 13011664. These products were distributed nationwide in the United States and internationally to numerous countries including Canada, Mexico, and various nations in Europe and the Middle East.
