Papablic Inc — Class II: Papablic Replacement Brush Heads. Model Number: Papablic18B
Papablic Inc is conducting a Class II recall of its replacement brush heads, model number Papablic18B, due to the potential for the brush heads to break during use.
This recall affects Papablic Inc and organizations involved in the distribution or oversight of consumer-facing Class II dental devices and replacement components.
A Class II designation suggests that while a serious health consequence is unlikely, the failure of the device could cause temporary or reversible adverse health consequences. This enforcement indicates that structural integrity issues in consumer-grade medical devices remain a focus of FDA post-market monitoring. Quality teams may need to evaluate if current stress testing protocols for replaceable components adequately simulate real-world use to prevent similar mechanical failures.
Regulatory and QA teams should ensure that post-market surveillance data regarding component breakage is reviewed and reflected in current risk management files. Manufacturers of similar personal care devices should verify that supply chain controls and material specifications for replaceable components are sufficient to prevent structural failures.
Class II. Reason: Potential for brush heads to break.. Product: Papablic Replacement Brush Heads. Model Number: Papablic18B. Firm: Papablic Inc (Chicago IL United States). Status: Ongoing.
