Our severity reasoning: The agency classified this recall as Class I — a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death. On that classification alone this is scored Severe; a score of Critical is reserved for recalls where a death or serious injury was reported. The agency gives the reason as: "Customed products are being recalled because of compromised sterility, not limited to potentially damaged packaging. Serious deficiencies in the manufacturing processes and uncontrolled and inadequate storage conditions increase the risk…"
