Speed Stitch Needle Cassette

Reason for recall

Due to a supplier error where a portion of the raw material was inadvertently mixed. As a result, some needles may be made of commercially pure titanium as opposed to 304 stainless steel which does not meet the specification and could potentially break during use.
