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 FDA classified this as a Class II recall. The hazard—lack of sterility assurance in a product applied directly to a sensitive organ (the eye)—presents significant risk of serious infection or injury, even though no illnesses have been reported in the source text. This meets the Severe threshold for FDA Class II recalls with risk of serious health consequences.
