Where it was sold

Why it was recalled

Potential for uncured adhesive between the metal threaded insert and the impactor block to leak out of the assembled part following the autoclave sterilization process. The Master Bond epoxy serves as a secondary locking mechanism to fix the metal insert to the impactor head. Foreign material has been observed on the impactor block. This has the potential for a biological response.

This product could cause temporary or reversible health problems — stop using it.
