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: This is an FDA Class II recall involving unverified manufacturing and lack of quality system documentation. No illnesses, injuries, or hospitalizations have been reported. The hazard is a risk of unknown device performance due to inability to verify manufacturing compliance and modifications, which qualifies as a risk-of-harm product without reported injury per the rubric (score 3—High).
