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: The recall involves foreign material (pen pieces) in a dietary supplement with potential for harm if ingested. Although no illnesses or injuries have been reported, this qualifies as a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported, per FDA severity guidelines.
