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 FDA classified this recall as Class II. According to the rubric, an FDA Class II recall involving a significant risk of harm (lack of sterility assurance in an injectable drug) corresponds to a severity score of 4 (Severe), as it implies a potential for serious adverse health consequences even if not explicitly reported as such in the brief source text.
