Our severity reasoning: FDA Class II recall involving sterility assurance failure in an injectable drug. While no illnesses or injuries have been reported, sterility defects in injectable products represent a high-risk hazard due to potential for serious infection. This meets the criteria of risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
