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 of an injectable drug where sterility assurance has failed. Non-sterile injectables present a direct risk of serious infection. Although no illnesses are reported in the source text, the nature of the hazard (contamination of a sterile product) and the injectable route of administration meet the threshold for Severe (Class II with significant risk of harm).
