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: This is an FDA Class II recall for a risk-of-harm orthopedic device. While the hazard (fretting corrosion and device failure) is serious and could require surgical intervention, no illnesses or injuries have been reported to date, and the harm is described as potential rather than actual. This fits the Score 3 criterion of 'risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.'
