Anspach Effort Recalls Bearing Sleeves Due to Missing Service Interval Instructions
The Anspach Effort, Inc. is recalling 568 Bearing Sleeves because the supplied directions for use did not contain a recommended service interval.
The agency’s classification
FDA (Devices): Class II
Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.
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 2/5 (Moderate).
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 specific defect is a documentation issue (missing service interval) with no reported injuries or illnesses, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity labeling/documentation error.
