FDA regulators put their highest-risk Class I label on the recall of DePuy Synthes’ Craniomaxillofacial Distraction System after the company reported 15 injuries associated with the jaw implant.

DePuy Synthes recalled the device after receiving reports that certain lots may reverse direction after surgery.
