Where it was sold

Why it was recalled

Due to a supplier error where a portion of the raw material was inadvertently mixed. As a result, some needles may be made of commercially pure titanium as opposed to 304 stainless steel which does not meet the specification and could potentially break during use.

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