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 an FDA Class II recall of a sterile injectable medication with lack of assurance of sterility, which creates a risk of serious harm (infections from non-sterile injection).
