Plain-English summary
The Anspach Effort, Inc. is recalling 189 units of the ANSPACH 7MM Fluted Acorn (REF M-7AC-G1) dissection tools. These tools are used for cutting and shaping bone, including the spine and cranium. The recall covers all lot numbers of this specific reference model.
The recall was initiated because the G1 dissection tools are not compatible with all attachments listed on the labeling.
