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 a risk-of-harm medical device recall where an incorrect component is present in packaging. While classified as FDA Class II, no illnesses or injuries have been reported. The hazard—implantation of the wrong implant side—could compromise surgical outcomes if the error is not detected before use.
