Stryker 6376 M-1 Cot Fastener Recalled for Missing Manual Warnings

Stryker is recalling 59 M-1 Cot Fasteners distributed to the Netherlands because their operation and maintenance manuals are missing warnings and contain incorrect information.

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 missing warnings and incorrect information in manuals without reporting any illnesses or injuries. Per the rubric, a Class II recall without hospitalization reports or significant injury reports, where the hazard is primarily documentation-related, aligns with a Moderate severity score.
