SCHEDULE 1
Aziyo issued a voluntary recall on June 2, 2021 pertaining to a single donor lot of FiberCel Fiber Viable Bone Matrix after learning of post-surgical infections reported in several patients treated with the product, including some patients that tested positive for tuberculosis. Between June 21, 2021 and January 20, 2022, approximately forty-one lawsuits in Indiana, Delaware, Florida, Maryland, Colorado, Michigan, Ohio, and North Carolina have been filed against Aziyo Biologics Inc., certain Medtronic entities, and others alleging that the plaintiffs contracted tuberculosis and/or suffered substantial symptoms and complications following the implantation of FiberCel during spinal fusion operations. In addition to the above, there have been approximately forty-two claims related to the FiberCel recall, which have not yet resulted in a lawsuit.
