Stryker Recalls Powered MOV Chairs for Documentation and Classification Issues
Stryker is recalling 159 Powered MOV Chairs due to potential compliance issues in product documentation and classification identified during a merger review.
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 the issue is related to 'product documentation and classification' rather than a physical defect or reported injury. This aligns with the rubric for moderate severity involving documentation issues or minor compliance errors without reported harm.
