Anspach G1 Dissection Tools Recalled for Inconsistent Shaft Exposure Labeling

The Anspach Effort, Inc. is recalling 69 G1 dissection tools because the labeled shaft exposure may be inconsistent with actual use, potentially resulting in greater exposure.

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: This is an FDA Class II recall involving a labeling inconsistency that may result in greater shaft exposure than specified. No injuries or illnesses are reported in the source text, and the hazard is related to labeling accuracy rather than a high-risk pathogen or structural defect.

Plain-English summary

The Anspach Effort, Inc. is recalling 69 units of the ANSPACH Fluted Drum, Side Cut Only (REF L-9DRC-G1). These tools are used for cutting and shaping bone, including the spine and cranium. The recall covers all lot numbers.

The recall was initiated because the G1 dissection tools are not compatible with all attachments listed on the labeling. Additionally, the tools are labeled with a Specified Shaft Exposure that may not be consistent when used with each attachment listed on the product label. As a result, the actual shaft exposure may be greater than what is indicated on the label.

The affected tools were distributed worldwide, including in the United States (AZ, CA, CO, FL, GA, IL, KY, LA, MN, MO, NC, NJ, NY, OH, OR, PA, TX) and internationally to Canada and China. Users should stop using these tools and contact the recalling firm for further instructions.
