Our severity reasoning: This is a Class II recall of a sterile injectable drug with manufacturing defects that call into question product sterility. Although no illnesses or injuries have been reported, injectable products that lack sterility assurance present a clear risk of serious infection, meeting the criterion for High severity: risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
