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: Scored 3 under the risk-of-harm criterion: a loss of sterility assurance in an injectable creates an infection risk, and no injuries are reported.
