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 risk-of-harm product (radiation exposure) where the source text identifies a hazard to patients but does not report specific injuries or illnesses, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.
