Reason for Recall

AMS' supplier has issued a recall of certain lots of Lightning Bolt Keith needles supplied in AMS 700 Accessory Kits. Based on this, AMS is recalling AMS 700 Accessory Kits which contain these lots of needles. The supplier made the decision to issue this recall after an internal investigation that was requested by AMS. The investigation identified a potential nonconformity that may lead to a bent or broken Keith Needle when used with the Furlow tool.
