Zimmer Biomet recalls spine devices

Zimmer Biomet is recalling several types of its spinal fusion implants after discovering the medical devices had potentially high amounts of harmful chemicals. The Food and Drug Administration labeled it a Class I recall, the most severe type of recall since the defects could cause severe injuries or death.

What to watch: If any patients are affected, and whether this affects Zimmer Biomet's spine business, which had $662 million of revenue last year.
