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 agency classification is FDA Class II. Per the rubric, FDA Class II recalls involving significant injury/property-damage reports or structural defects (leaks compromising sterility) align with a score of 4, and the rule states that if the agency's own classification is FDA Class I or USDA Class I, never go below 4 (implying Class II is evaluated on its own merits, often landing in Severe for sterility issues in injectables).
