Reason

The firm identified, through complaints that the 3.5MM LOCKING SCREW packaging material was marked as a 3.5mm screw and the part number was correct but that the description indicated a 7.0mm screw. Upon investigation, it has been determined that a lot number 009U2 was packaged and mislabeled internally by OrthoPediatrics.
