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 is classified as FDA Class II. The hazard involves compromised sterility in a surgical setting, which poses a risk of infection (harm) but the source does not report specific injuries or illnesses, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
