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 surgical device with a documented component fracture defect in at least 12 reported cases. The potential for device failure during a surgical procedure poses a risk of harm (intraoperative complication), though no injuries or hospitalizations have been explicitly reported in the source text. The hazard is substantiated by actual field complaints rather than purely theoretical.
