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: FDA Class II recall with no reported illnesses or injuries. The hazard—lack of sterility assurance in an injectable product—poses a theoretical risk of infection to patients, placing it in the 'High' category per the rubric criteria for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.
