Ormco Corporation is voluntarily recalling one lot of 8 MM Vector TAS Screws because some screws of this lot were machined undersized at the top of the threads may potentially cause a weakening of the screw. Use of the undersized product may result in breakage of the screw during insertion or removal when torqued, possibly requiring surgical removal of any remaining pieces.
