What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II recall of an injectable drug involving sterility assurance failure—a critical manufacturing control issue for parenteral medications. The source text does not report any actual illnesses or injuries, making the hazard theoretical. However, non-sterile injectables pose serious risk of harm including infection and sepsis, which justifies a High severity score at the upper range of what the rubric permits without reported illness.
