Stryker 6381 M-1 Cot Fastener Recalled for Missing Manual Warnings

Stryker is recalling three 6381 M-1 Cot Fasteners because their manuals contain incorrect information and missing warnings.

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 specific hazard is a documentation error (missing warnings/incorrect info) rather than a direct physical defect or reported injury, fitting the 'Minor labeling errors' or 'voluntary precautionary' criteria for a Moderate score.
