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 involving temperature abuse of a sterile intraocular injection product, which could compromise product sterility and efficacy. While no illnesses or injuries are reported, the inherent risk to eye health from a compromised sterile intraocular product warrants a High severity classification.
