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 involving a high-risk contamination scenario—a foreign prescription drug in an oxycodone bottle creates immediate potential for serious harm through accidental ingestion of an incorrect medication.
