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: This is a risk-of-harm product (injectable medication with sterility concerns) where no illnesses or injuries have been reported in the source text. While FDA Class II, the lack of sterility assurance on an injectable drug presents a significant theoretical risk, meeting the High severity criterion for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.
