What this means for you

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 a Class II recall involving a potential sterility failure in an injectable product. While no illnesses or injuries are mentioned in the source, injectable products are inherently high-risk if sterile manufacturing standards are not met, meeting the criteria for High severity as a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported.
