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 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The agency classified this as an FDA Class II recall. Under the rubric, an FDA Class II recall involving a significant hazard like lack of sterility assurance in an injectable drug is classified as Severe (Score 4), particularly given the potential for serious injury from non-sterile injections.
