What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The FDA classified this as a Class II recall. The hazard—lack of sterility assurance in an injectable drug—poses a direct risk of serious harm (infection, sepsis) to patients who use affected vials, meeting the threshold for Severe classification even though no illnesses are reported in the source text.
