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: FDA Class II classification indicates potential for adverse health consequences. However, no illnesses or injuries have been reported, and all units were recovered (100%). The contamination resulted from personnel error rather than confirmed product defect, making the actual hazard theoretical despite the high-risk pathogen involved.
