What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II recall. A non-sterile injectable medication poses a serious risk of infection, particularly given that injectable drugs directly enter the bloodstream. Class II recalls with risk of serious adverse health consequences warrant a score of 4, even absent reported illnesses to date.
