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). The source text does not report any actual illnesses or injuries, making this a theoretical risk-of-harm scenario. Per the rubric, such cases score at most 3 (High).
