Biomet, Inc. is recalling 40 units of JuggerKnot Mini Soft Anchors (Model 912080). The outer carton box for these products is incorrectly labeled as containing 1.0mm Mini devices, but the anchors inside are actually 1.4mm Short devices. This labeling error could cause a surgeon to attempt to use a device that does not fit the prepared surgical site, potentially leading to procedural delays or complications. If you have this product in stock, you should stop using it and contact the manufacturer or your distributor to arrange for a return or replacement.
Using a larger 1.4mm anchor when a surgeon believes they are using a 1.0mm anchor based on the label can lead to improper fit or device failure during a surgical procedure. This could result in surgical complications, the need for additional medical intervention, or extended time under anesthesia while a correct device is located.
The outer carton box label is for the JuggerKnot 1.0mm Mini products; however, the products within the carton are JuggerKnot 1.4mm Short devices.
If you or a family member were harmed by this recalled product, you may have legal rights. Consider consulting a consumer protection attorney to understand your options for compensation.
