Why Was This Recalled?

The CMF Battery Powered Driver graphic case contains outlines of the Battery Powered Driver, taps, screwdriver blades, and a screw holding sleeve. However, the device is not intended to be used in conjunction with a tap for tapping holes in a patient's skull, upper and/or lower jaw.
