What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The source text identifies the agency classification as Class II. According to the rubric, an FDA Class II recall involving a risk of harm (lack of sterility) without reported illness falls under the 'Severe' category (Score 4), as it is not a Class I recall but involves a significant potential for adverse health consequences.
