This FDA Devices action (record #Z-0184-2013) was formally reported on November 7, 2012, with the manufacturer initiating the action on September 5, 2012. It is classified under Moderate severity (Class II), with a current status of Terminated. Wright Medical Technology Inc is listed as the recalling firm, operating out of Arlington, TN. Federal records indicate 729 units units are affected.
The documented reason for this recall is: There may be inaccuracies on the labeled shelf life on all products packaged at the Toulon, France facility. Distribution data in the federal record shows the product reached: Worldwide Distribution - USA (nationwide) and Internationally to Canada, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Poland, Portug…. Distribution scope directly affects the consumer exposure window and determines whether a recall remains regional or escalates into a nationwide advisory.
To put this record in context, PlainRecalls indexes 83,949 recalls across the FDA, CPSC, NHTSA and USDA FSIS going back to 1995. Within the same product category, the database holds 6 closely related recalls, of which 6 were also issued by FDA Devices. That clustering is a signal — repeated actions in a narrow category often indicate a systemic quality-control issue, a supplier-wide contamination, or a design defect that has propagated across product lines. This recall is roughly 14 years old; older recalls can remain relevant because many units enter resale, rental, and secondary-market channels where the original warning never reaches the end user. Always cross-check the recall number against the official agency page before relying on any summary.
