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 medication. Lack of sterility assurance in injectables poses a significant risk of serious infection and harm, even though no illnesses or injuries have been reported in the source text. The theoretical hazard and risk-of-harm nature of the defect meet the High severity criterion.
