OrthoPediatrics Recalls 3.5mm Non Locking Cortical Screws Due to Packaging Error

OrthoPediatrics Corp is recalling 3.5mm Non Locking Cortical Screws because the packaging may contain a different screw size than labeled.

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 labeling/packaging error where the wrong screw size is included in the package, which is a moderate risk of harm but does not meet the criteria for severe injury or critical failure.
