Why it was recalled

Stop using this product now

The staplers may contain an out of specification anvil component within the jaw of the device. This condition may lead to malformed staples, which can compromise staple line integrity. If the staple line is compromised, there is a potential risk of prolonged surgery, postoperative anastomotic leak, hemorrhage, hemorrhagic shock, additional surgical intervention, or death.

Using this product could cause serious injury, illness or death — stop using it now.
