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: The recall involves a compounded injectable pharmaceutical product with loss of sterility assurance, which is a high-risk hazard for injection-route drugs. The source states FDA Class II classification. Although no illnesses or injuries are explicitly reported in the source, the potential for serious harm (infection, sepsis) from non-sterile injectables meets the criteria for a High severity rating.
