Eugia US LLC is recalling Progesterone Injection vials nationwide due to glass particles found in the product. Patients and healthcare providers should stop using the affected lot.

The agency’s classification

FDA (Drugs): Class II

Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

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 with no reported hospitalizations or injuries. However, glass particulate matter in an injectable product poses a potential risk of injection-related harm, meeting the rubric criterion for Score 3 (risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported).
