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 medical device where a defect (splits or holes in gloves) compromises sterility, creating a risk of harm during surgery. No specific injuries or illnesses are reported in the source text, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
