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: The FDA classified this as a Class II recall. This is a surgical instrument where device failure (plastic breakage) during a procedure could result in patient harm, and the source explicitly documents complaints of the hazard occurring. No illnesses or injuries are reported, but the risk of harm from surgical instrument failure during shoulder procedures justifies a High severity rating.
