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: The recall involves a high-risk medication mislabeling hazard where the wrong drug could be administered, but the source text does not report any illnesses or injuries, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.
