This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

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: FDA Class II classification indicates potential for serious injury. The recall addresses engineering specification nonconformities in orthopedic implants without reported injuries or hospitalizations, qualifying as a risk-of-harm situation where no adverse events have been reported.
