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 recall is classified as FDA Class II. Per the rubric, FDA Class II recalls involving significant injury/property-damage reports or structural defects are Severe; while no specific injuries are reported in the text, the Class II classification for a sterile IV drug with CGMP deviations warrants a Severe rating as it is not a Class I (Critical) but involves a potential for serious harm.
