Zimmer Biomet Ceramic Femoral Head Hip Prosthesis Labeling Recall
Zimmer, Inc. is recalling a ceramic femoral head hip prosthesis (Model 802602203) because product labeling lacks compatibility information for use with cobalt-chrome or stainless-steel femoral stems.
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: This is an FDA Class II recall for a labeling deficiency—specifically, inadequate compatibility information. The source text does not report any illnesses, injuries, or failures, and the hazard is labeling-related rather than a direct device malfunction. Per the rubric, labeling errors and precautionary recalls fall into the Moderate (2) category.
