Altivate Reverse Torx Peripheral Screw labeling mismatch recall
Encore Medical is recalling Altivate Reverse Torx Peripheral Screws because package labeling lists a different size than the actual product included inside.
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 involving a labeling discrepancy on a medical device. No reported illnesses or injuries are stated in the source text, and the hazard is a mismatch between label and contents rather than a structural or functional defect of the device itself.
