New Star Lasers Recalls ReNew Dermatology Devices for Labeling Errors

New Star Lasers is recalling five ReNew laser systems because customers were not notified when promotional material 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 source text explicitly states no illnesses or injuries were reported, and the hazard is limited to a labeling notification failure rather than a direct physical defect or contamination.

Plain-English summary

New Star Lasers, Inc. is recalling five ReNew (a.k.a. Trio) laser systems used for dermatology procedures, including incision, excision, and treatment of fine lines and wrinkles. The recall was initiated after an FDA inspection found that customers who had received devices with promotional material containing outside-use indications were not notified when the labeling was revised to remove these indications.

The affected devices are distributed in the United States only. The specific serial numbers for the recalled units are ABKK03, ABKK04, ABKM02, ABSG01, and ABUP01. The source text does not report any illnesses, injuries, or deaths associated with this recall.

Consumers who possess these specific serial numbers should contact New Star Lasers, Inc. for instructions on how to proceed with the recall.
