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. The lack of assurance of sterility in an injectable product represents a direct risk of serious harm to patients, including infection and sepsis. Although no illnesses are reported in the source text, the hazard—non-sterile injectable—is inherent to the product category and poses significant risk without reported illness, meeting the High severity threshold.
