Biomet 3i Recalls Dental Implants Due to Potential Label Mismatch

Biomet 3i is recalling five units of LTX dental implants because a single part in the lot may not match the label due to a supplier error.

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 no illnesses or injuries have been reported, and the hazard is a potential labeling mismatch rather than a confirmed contamination or defect causing harm.

Plain-English summary

Biomet 3i, LLC is recalling five units of BIOMET 3i LTX Dental Implants, Model LTX610 (6x10mm). The affected units are labeled as sterile and are packaged in a plastic tray within a Tyvek tray within a cardboard box. The recall involves a single lot (1199571) distributed to Argentina.

The recall was initiated because a single part within the lot potentially does not match the product on the label. This discrepancy is attributed to a commingle at the firm's supplier. The source text does not report any illnesses, injuries, or deaths associated with this recall.

Consumers and healthcare providers who have purchased or received these specific dental implants should stop using them and contact Biomet 3i, LLC for further instructions or a replacement.
