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: The recall involves a sterile medical device where a defect (open seals) potentially affects sterility, creating a risk of harm (infection) even though no specific injuries are reported in the text.
