What happened

Zimmer, Inc. is recalling approximately 972,125 sterile-packaged knee implants and surgical instruments distributed worldwide. The recall was initiated because multiple test samples from six different package configurations failed simulated distribution and shipping tests, during which the devices either breached inner or outer package trays or lost seal integrity.

The recalled products include various stem implants and sharp fluted stem instruments in different sizes, identified by specific item numbers with expiration dates prior to July 2024. The source document does not specify a remedy or recommended action for affected consumers.
