Straumann custom abutments recalled for wrong raw material

Straumann is recalling two custom abutment products, 20 units in total, for dental implant use. A raw material bar of TAN material was mislabeled as titanium Grade 4, so some RC Titanium abutments were made from the wrong material. The affected units were distributed in several U.S. states and in Canada. No injuries have been reported.

The agency lists each product separately. Check every one you might have.
