Why it was recalled

Integrated Lag/Compression Screw Kit has a compression screw with hexagon socket that may be undersized, which causes the screw to be non-functional, which would require replacement with another adequate size screw, and exchange may exceed 30 minutes.

Class II means using this product may cause temporary or medically reversible health problems; the chance of serious harm is remote.
