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 explicitly states the agency classification is Class II. Per the rubric, if the agency's own classification is FDA Class I or USDA Class I, the score is never below 4. Since this is a Class II recall involving a subpotent drug (which implies a risk of therapeutic failure), it falls into the Severe category (Score 4) as it is not a Class I recall but involves a significant quality defect in a prescription medication.
