What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a medical device defect that requires additional surgical intervention to remove broken parts from a patient's body, which constitutes a significant injury risk and fits the 'Severe' criteria for significant injury reports or high-risk device failures.
