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. Per the rubric, FDA Class II recalls involving significant injury/property-damage reports or structural defects are Severe. While no injuries are explicitly reported in the text, the potential for a patient to take a potent opioid instead of a supplement (or vice versa) represents a significant risk of harm, aligning with the Severe criteria for Class II recalls with potential for serious adverse events.
