On August 23, 2017, Stryker announced that the Company had informed the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") of a voluntary product recall involving specific lots of the Company's Oral Care products distributed between July 2015 and August 2017.  Stryker's recall followed a warning letter from the FDA received on July 17, 2017, which described a potential for cross-contamination of Oral Care products manufactured by a third party on equipment shared with non-pharmaceutical products.  After receiving reports of minor irritation and allergic reaction, Stryker has discontinued its business relationship with the third-party supplier.  Based on the estimated impact of the foregoing issues on sales and operating income, Stryker advised investors that the Company now expects full-year organic sales growth and adjusted net earnings per diluted share to be at the lower end of its previously stated ranges of 6.5% to 7.0% and $6.45 to $6.55, respectively. 

On this news, Stryker's share price has fallen as much as $7.81, or 5.37%, during intraday trading on August 23, 2017.
