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 agency classification is FDA Class II, and the rubric specifies that FDA Class II recalls with hospitalization reports or significant injury/property-damage reports are Severe. While specific injury reports are not detailed in the text, the lack of sterility assurance in an injectable drug presents a significant risk of harm, aligning with the Severe criteria for high-risk products.
