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 classification is FDA Class II. Per the rubric, FDA Class II recalls involving significant injury/property-damage reports or structural defects are Severe; while no specific injuries are reported in the text, the 'Lack of Assurance of Sterility' for an injectable drug represents a significant risk of harm (sepsis/infection) that aligns with the Severe tier for high-risk medical products where sterility is compromised.
