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 with no reported illnesses or injuries. The hazard—CGMP deviations in manufacturing—represents a risk of harm but remains theoretical without documented patient impact. Per the rubric, recalls with no reported illness and theoretical hazard score at most 3.
