What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).
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 for confirmed foreign object contamination (pen pieces) in capsules that constitutes a risk-of-harm product, as ingestion could cause choking or internal injury.
