Manufacturer Reason
for Recall		The print for modified CSS depth gauges has inaccurate definition of the etched screw length. The error results in a length reading that is longer (5 mm in the case of the 7.0 and 4mm in the cases of the 5.5 and 4.0) than the actual length of the buried guide wire segment and even longer (10 mm in the case of the 7.0 and 8mm in the cases of the 5.5 and 4.0) than the design intention readings.
