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 an injectable medication intended for intraocular use. While no illnesses or injuries are reported in the source, the lack of sterility assurance for a product injected directly into the eye poses a significant potential risk of serious infection, fitting the rubric criterion for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
