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: This is a risk-of-harm product (spinal implant) with theoretical hazard (potential weld separation) and no reported injuries or illnesses, which per the rubric merits a score of 3 (High). While classified as FDA Class II, the absence of reported hospitalizations or injuries caps the severity at 3.
