Biomet 3i Recalls Low Profile Abutments Due to Labeling Errors
Biomet 3i is recalling Low Profile Abutments because some packages labeled as Hexed Castable Cylinders may contain Non-Hexed Castable Cylinders.
What this means for you
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 hazard is a labeling error (wrong model in package) rather than a contamination or structural defect, fitting the criteria for minor labeling errors or low-risk issues.
