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 a risk-of-harm product (sterile surgical kits) where the hazard is compromised sterility, but the source text does not report any specific injuries or illnesses, fitting the criteria for a High severity score.
