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 of an injectable product with a critical safety requirement (sterility). Although no illnesses or injuries have been reported, the risk-of-harm to neonatal patients is significant, as the contamination risk posed by unvalidated sterility assurance in injectable products presents a serious concern for this vulnerable population.
