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: The agency classified this as an FDA Class II recall. Per the rubric, FDA Class II recalls involving significant injury/property-damage reports or structural defects are rated Severe (4). While no specific injuries are reported in the text, the potential for serious harm from non-sterile injectable medications justifies the higher severity rating over a standard Class II.
