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 involving a sterile injectable drug. Lack of sterility assurance for an injectable medication poses significant risk of serious infection or sepsis if contaminated product was administered. Although no illnesses or hospitalizations are reported in the source text, the hazard type (compromised sterility of an injection) and the Class II classification warrant a Severe rating.
