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: Score 3 applies because the notice identifies a risk-of-harm drug recall involving foreign particulates and does not report an injury. The FDA Class II classification does not meet the rubric's score-4 criterion because no hospitalizations are reported.
