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 for a sterility assurance deficiency in an injectable drug product. Although no illnesses or injuries are reported in the source text, lack of sterility in injectable preparations presents a high risk of serious harm (infection, sepsis) if the product has been administered. Class II recalls typically warrant a score of 4 or higher when serious illness is reported; in the absence of reported illness but with a theoretical high-risk hazard, a score of 3 (High) applies per the rubric.
