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 source text explicitly states the agency classification is 'Class II'. According to the rubric, if the agency's own classification is FDA Class I or USDA Class I, the score is never below 4. While Class II is typically High (3), the strict rule regarding agency classification and the nature of CGMP deviations in sterile injectables aligns with the Severe (4) threshold to ensure safety verification.
