KRS Global Biotechnology is recalling 2,625 syringes of Glycopyrrolate (PF) 1 mg/5 mL due to a lack of assurance of sterility.

The agency’s classification

FDA (Drugs): Class II

Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The agency classified this as an FDA Class II recall. Per the rubric, FDA Class II recalls involving significant injury/property-damage reports or hospitalization are rated Severe (4). While no specific injuries are reported in the text, the 'lack of assurance of sterility' for an injectable drug represents a significant risk of serious harm (sepsis/infection), aligning with the Severe criteria for high-risk drug defects.
