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 gloves) where injury has not yet been reported, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for potential sterility compromise.
