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/holes) compromises sterility, creating a risk of harm (infection) in a high-risk setting (surgery), but no specific injuries or illnesses are reported in the source text.
