Why it was recalled

942-01-40G acetabular system package was found to contain 942-01-36H acetabular system; and several other acetabular system and knee insert devices may also have a packaging discrepancy, which may cause surgical delay to exchange devices or revision surgery.

Class II means using this product may cause temporary or medically reversible health problems; the chance of serious harm is remote.
