What this means for you
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 recall with no reported illnesses or injuries. The potential for out-of-specification device geometries in a spinal implant constitutes a risk-of-harm product, but no actual patient harm has been reported.
