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 a sterile injectable product with lack of sterility assurance—a high-risk contamination hazard. No illnesses or injuries are reported in the source text, but the hazard (potential bacterial or fungal infection from a non-sterile injectable) is inherently serious and applies to an identifiable patient population, meeting the threshold for High severity.
