What happened

Zimmer GmbH is recalling 19 units of the Sidus Stem-Free Shoulder Humeral Head 50-18 orthopedic implant due to incorrect labeling on the product package.

The affected products are from Lot #2941696 and were distributed worldwide, including in the United States (Alabama, Colorado, Kansas, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, and Oklahoma) and internationally (Belgium, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom).
