As stated in the FDA Advisory No. 2020-1808 dated 05 October 2020, Dent1st Corp. has conducted the voluntary recall of the aforementioned product due to identified multiple batches of the said products have a pin size larger than acceptable size. This larger pin size may make it difficult for the forceps to fit appropriately with the HYGENIC branded or Fiesta branded dental dam clamps. There are no safety concerns to the patient or user as the larger sized pins on the forceps just render the forceps unusable.
After due and thorough evaluation of the submitted documents by Dent1st Corp., FDA has determined that reasonable efforts have been made to recall and properly returned to the source country the affected product batches in accordance with FDA Circular No. 2016-012, known as the Guidelines on Product Recall.
The issuance of this advisory shall not in any manner preclude this Office from issuing subsequent orders it may deem necessary and appropriate, should there be subsequent findings of any violation of existing FDA laws, rules and regulations.
All FDA Regional Field Offices and Regulatory Enforcement Units in coordination with law enforcement agencies and Local Government Units are requested to monitor and seize the cited product lots if still found available in the market.
For more information and inquiries, kindly contact the FDA Center for Device Regulation, Radiation Health and Research through e-mail at [email protected], or call (02) 8857-1900 local 8301.
Dissemination of this advisory to all concerned is hereby requested
