Class II U.S. Food and Drug Administration

Encore Medical, LP Brand Name: Reverse Shoulder Prosthesis Product Name: RSP Standard recall: Knee and Humeral socket implants contain incorrect labeling

Recall published 8 months ago

Knee and Humeral socket implants contain incorrect labeling.

The hazard: Mislabelling or misbranding

This is a packaging mix-up rather than a safety failure in the food itself — the wrong label, lid or sleeve went onto the product.

What the notice says: Knee and Humeral socket implants contain incorrect labeling.

Why it matters: The product carries the wrong label, the wrong lid or the wrong packaging. The food inside is generally fine; the problem is that the package describes something else, which defeats anyone relying on it.

Symptoms and when to call a doctor

There is no illness associated with mislabelling itself. The exception is where the undeclared contents include an allergen, in which case treat it as an allergen recall and watch for the reaction that person normally has.

This page is general information, not medical advice. If you feel unwell, a clinician who can see you is the only person able to judge your case.

What to do about Mislabelled

Encore Medical, LP — This is a packaging mix-up rather than a safety failure in the food itself — the wrong label, lid or sleeve went onto the product.

  1. Read the official notice to see what is actually inside the pack, then decide whether anyone in your home needs to avoid it.
  2. Keep a photo of the mismatched label, which makes the refund conversation much shorter.
  3. Check the lot code on your pack — these mix-ups are usually confined to a short production window.
  4. If the undeclared contents include an allergen, treat it as an allergen recall and stop serving it to anyone affected.

How to get your money back

Food recalls carry a full refund, and in the United States you usually do not need the receipt or the packaging.

  • Take the product, or your photo of the label, to the customer service desk of the store where you bought it. Nearly every national grocer refunds recalled food on the spot.
  • Bought it online? Open the order in your account and use the refund option; marketplace sellers are required to honour a federal recall.
  • If the store refuses, contact the recalling company using the details on this page. The firm, not the shop, carries the cost of a recall.
  • If you have a loyalty card, the retailer can look the purchase up in your history — Kroger, Costco and Walmart all do this routinely.
