What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: This recall is classified as FDA Class II and involves a sterile injectable product lacking assurance of sterility, which creates a direct risk of serious infection.
