Stryker Restoration Anatomic Shell Recall Due to Packaging Defect

Howmedica Osteonics Corp. is recalling Stryker Restoration Anatomic Hemispherical Shells because the device may fall off its post within the inner packaging, resulting in coating debris.

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 source text explicitly states no illnesses or injuries have been reported, and the hazard is a packaging defect rather than a direct biological or structural failure causing harm.
