Limacorporate Recalls SMR Shoulder Trial Heads Due to Assembly Issues

Limacorporate S.p.A is recalling 93 units of SMR Shoulder Trial Heads because dimensions are out of specification, making assembly difficult.

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. The hazard is a manufacturing defect causing assembly difficulty, which is a functional issue rather than a direct risk of serious injury or death, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity recall.
