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 (infection) where injury has not yet been reported, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for theoretical or unreported harm.
