Stryker Howmedica Osteonics is recalling 152 units of Tibial Punch Tower Assemblies because an undersized slot may prevent keel punches from being inserted.
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, and the source text describes a functional defect (undersized slot) that prevents the device from being used as intended, but it does not report any injuries, illnesses, or deaths.
