What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).
The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II. Per the rubric, FDA Class II recalls involving significant injury or property damage reports, or structural defects, are rated Severe. While no specific injuries are reported in the text, the potential for serious harm from non-sterile injectables in a Class II context aligns with the Severe criteria for significant risk.
