New Star Lasers Recalls CT3Plus and CT3PZ Systems for Labeling Issues
New Star Lasers is recalling 91 CT3Plus and CT3PZ laser systems because customers were not notified when promotional labeling was revised to remove outside-use indications.
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, but the specific issue is a failure to notify customers of labeling revisions regarding promotional indications, which constitutes a minor labeling error without reported injuries or illnesses.
Plain-English summary
