What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The FDA classified this as a Class II recall. Microbial contamination of a non-sterile oral product poses a potential health risk. No reported illnesses or hospitalizations are stated in the source text, so the hazard remains theoretical, placing this at the upper end of High rather than Severe.
